If the neurontin is working for you- great. If your pharmacy offers it, sign up for ready fill. They'll call you if you have had it filled, but haven't picked it up yet. I do reminders via my cell phone, so I can call and get another script before I run out of med.

Neurontin didn't work for me at high doses. Lyrica was approved by the FDA for treatment of Fibromyalgia, but treatment for MS is considered off-label and you have to do a trial of neurontin first.

Unfortunately, I have a higher copay for Lyrica:
neurontin is $20
Lyrica is $40

But it has worked for me, so it's worth it.

My MS neuro wants me to see another rheumy in Boston- the appt. isn't until Nov. 2nd tho. In the meantime she's going to increase my Lyrica to see if it offers me any relief. They considered stopping my Tysabri treatments for 1-2 months, but that's not going to happen. They think something else is causing the pain- not the Tysabri treatments.

In the meantime, I'll stay on the Arthrotec for now. I'm going to call my PCP next week to see if he's willing to up that dose.
