Hi

I found life on gabapentin pretty tough - felt really tired and had quite a few other side effects. Switched to pregabalin (more expensive option so most doctors don't try it first) and tolerated that much better. Whatever you try, you do have to stick with the dosing and slowly build it up so that your body gets used to it which seems to help. Still a fan of duloxetine which has really transformed what I'm able to do compared to when on any of the other drugs for neuropathic pain. Still new and not all neurologists or pain specialists know about it, but definitely something to try!
