Whyyyyyyyy! I'm NOT kidding! This bag of ANIMAL CRACKERS weighs
like 5 Pounds!!! Was he trying to be CUTE???

Anyway, I am feeling similar to what en bloc is saying...... the Neurontin seemed to work at first (?) and I was taking a higher dose than I am now...but BOY did it mess with my HEAD.....let's just say the 'grim reaper' was tippy-toeing close by.....and he wasn't carrying cute little ANIMAL crackers ....

Not to steer David's original question away from the Lyrica issue......
but for those of us who HAVE tried the Lyrica/Neurontin and don't seem to be getting results......does it seem logical to perhaps bring up the subject of trying Topomax.....especially since this med is known for NOT causing weight gain? I've heard several people swear this was their 'wonder drug' .

Anyone else feel this way?......'they' say sometimes we have to switch gears and try different things before we land on the 'right cocktail'.......
I dunno ...... Topomax ?? yes? no?

FIVE POUNDS of ANIMAL CRACKERS!!! What was he THINKING!!!!
