Hello Tom, I have been taking Tegretol (3x a day) 200mg & Neurontin (3x a day) 300mg for about 6 months now. I haven't had any side effects with these drugs..... but my first neurologist wanted to keep increasing my neurontin everytime I went to see him. So I dropped him. Now my neurologist took me off those two drugs and put me on Lyrica along with Cymbalta. I could tell those drugs were working because now that I am being weened off the pain is coming back..... I just hope Lyrica starts to kick in. I have been taking the Lyrica now for a week. I increase the Lyrica by 50 each week until I get to 300. I am on 100mg right now..... 4 weeks to go. What pn do you have?

Thanks,
Michele
