Gabapentin never really worked for me (and it makes my feet swell), and Elavil (amitriptyline) made me feel really really strange. The Elavil was almost as horrible as the Gabapentin, I'd taken Elavil for about a month (it was Rx for my insomnia) and when I quit it, I actually had withdrawal symptoms. Probably shouldnt have quit it cold turkey. Why it was Rx-ed for insomnia I'll never know. I thought it was a mood elevator.

I finally got my neuro to give me Lyrica a couple of weeks ago. He gave me about a month or more's worth of samples, since it's an expensive medication, at least with my insurance.

So far, I've been taking it for just under a week, and no problems yet. I woke up with vertigo this morning, but I dont know if it's the MS, the Lyrica, or the fact that I dont sleep that triggered the vertigo. (I'm thinking it's the MS/and or the not sleeping that caused it)

Is Lyrica the medication that you couldnt remember the name of?
