But 'Neurontin' IS 'gabapentin'.

Lyrica is similar to the Gabas but has one or two teeny differences in chemical make-up that are different. For some like Nide44, it has more punch w/less s/e or volume. Others can't tolerate it tho.

Some things work for some, others not at all.

I'd only taken the 'brand name' and had horrid side effects.. all the common ones and more.

IF YOUR pain is less taking one brand or non-brand vs another? Stick with it!

Anything that works for you to lessen pain is not to be tinkered with!
