I would like to try a switch to Lyrica, in fact my Neuro doc wants this, but the FDA hasn't approved this for SFN (it has for your Dx though) and therefore, my insurance company won't cover it, and its way too expensive for me to pay it all! I have been taking 3600mg a day of Neurontin for a couple years now.
