[QUOTE=Swmnupstrm;653028]Podiatrist gave me samples to start on - felt my gabapentin dose was a little high (600 TID) and felt I'd get better relief with Lyrica.

Took first dose night before last and woke up wanting to end it all. Just felt really down and hopeless. Scared the stuffing out of me - can it really affect a person that quickly????

*** Not my experience. OTOH, I was switched to Lyrica from nortryptiline (sp?) or something similar that gave me panic attacks. Those made me feel as though my life was ending. Maybe 5 months Lyrica experience.
