Switch back to Lyrica, it is definitely more effective if you have had your condition for more than a year or so. Gabapentin is fine for the beginning but you will find that after awhile it is not longer effective. Lyrica at 50X4 is a rather low dose. I would try 100 X2. I have had my disease for 8 years and only 200mg x2 is adequate.
