Hi Dave,
I just wanted to say Welcome to Neurotalk. We have lots of great people here that will try to help you as best we can.

Just a thought. When you stop Neurontin you should wean off it slowly before going on Lyrica. Did your doctor mention this? They are similar but not the same. You could have some not so nice withdrawals from the Neurontin.

Maybe call your doctor to re-check the information. Your PCP could prescribe Low Dose Natrexone and mail to Skip's Pharmacy.

You could get the 50 mg pill and try to add 50 ozs of distilled water and take 3.0 mg or 4.5 mg with a measure dropper. If you say you are and alcoholic they get up to 100 to 300 mg and are monitored for drug and alcohol abuse.

That much medication will not do what you need. That high dosage does not work for purposes intended of LDN.
Nice to meet you.
I am on the MS forum like Kitty if you need more information.
