Hi. I'm sorry so late in my reply. I forget about this forum I usually post on the pn. Anyhow well for me I started both too high and the Lyrica just made me feel so bad I never wanted to try again. The neurontin I tried again at lower dose. I felt so much pressure in my head that wouldn't go and I was at a low dose. I heard I would have to get to such a high dose and couldn't imagine so we tried cymbalta. I agree people are on high doses so I would ask your doc. Also there are other med's like the posters said. On another note when are you taking the med cause sometimes timing can help. I also broke it up when I was on it. Good luck
