Try pregabalin. It can help. If it doesn't, try gabapentin, which is very similar, or a time-release gabapentin. The side-effect people complain about the most is that it makes them sleepy, but that often diminishes over time. If those don't help, or you can't stand it, see what else they've got that might. Only you will know what works, and only you can say if the side-effects are too much. There's also a bunch of non-pharmacologic therapies: mindfulness meditation, acupuncture, massage therapy, tai chi. Good luck.
