Lyrica has allowed me to go from 400mg a day of Tramadol plus two Vicodin down to 150mg of Tramadol and one Vicodin. Hope to slowly cut out the Tramadol entirely.

Jarrett mentioned adding Mirapex to your regimen on the idea that PN has a few similarities to RLS. See RLS (restless leg syndrome and Mirapex on Google. The propensity of PN to get worse at night and the partial relief one gets sometimes just by walking around for awhile (of course on a very soft carpet).
