Hi, Lyrica and Neurontin don't work for me, either. But a doctor @ Johns Hopkins recommended I take Lexapro [an antidepressant] and this actually helps my nerve pain.

I've tried so many things and have not found any relief--in fact, the PN has gotten much much worse over time, even though my vitamin levels are all at normal levels now. Lyrica and Neurontin are not the answers for everybody--they do not work for everyone. They aren't magical cures... what works for one will not work for another... they sure haven't worked for me. =(

Again... this isn't meant to be aimed directly at you.. but I see a LOT of people saying that one specific medicine works best... when in reality, that's not true--it depends on the individual.
