I was dx'd with CRPS a couple of months ago and also have MS. My neuro wanted me to try Lyrica for the neuropathic pain. All I can say is WOW! what a wild ride. And NO THANKS! My comment to the Physiatrist who is treating me for the CRPS when he asked about Lyrica was it's the best hallucinagenic drug I've ever been on!

Everyone has different reactions to medications. I will be the first to admit that I am usually in that <3% range with adverse reactions!

I also tried Neurontin and can only take 300 mg a day without feeling drugged up.

Talk to your pharmacist about side effects or go online and read the package insert.
