I found this article about Amitriptyline:**
Garpabentin gives some side effects, that can be very annoying, pain in throat, bad smell out of mouth, noseblood, dizzyness etc. In order to work against nerve damage, I was taking 900 mg. 3 times a day, in order to reduce my nerve pain.
(Noseblood can be caused from Diklofenak, witch I also have.)
Lyrica is what I can read me to, almost same medication, but in an improved version. That they managed to take out at least some of the side effects. But the drug cost a lot more, but I think it can be worth it.
Im on my way out of my use on Garbapentin and changing to Lyrica atm. And I can feel a big diffrence. My dizzyness are not as much as it was before, and I start to beeing able to think and concentrate a bit more than before, when i was taking Garbenpentin.
