[QUOTE=dahlek;757741]What harm could getting a second opinion do? If nothing else, you'd learn that 'nothing can be done', but only after more tests. As for taking both gabapentin and lyrica together? I'll leave it to Nide44[aka as BobB] and Mrs D to respond.
In the meantime? READ and memorize this? As it is a serious med that can cause reactions, if you don't read it? You won't know when anything [IF anything] happens.
That all said? Meds tolerances by us can become either more or less sensitive. I'm one of the 'sensitive ones' and have had some bad reactions to several meds. I hope that you are not and can get along with this well.
Also? Confusing at times the Stickies at the top of this forum are? There is a wealth of good info in them. Just do a bit at a time, or your brain will definitely short-circuit! Lots of quality info there, which, when one is in pain? May not be taken in too well at first. Nibble at it, digest it? Then ask questions. Not one question here is too silly to ask! I've had my share for sure!
Thanks for the reply: I have used all of the anti seizure drugs aat one time or another. I can tolerate a lot of drugs. I took 3200 to 4800 Gabapentin at different times.
I will look over the "Stickies" and see if I can glean any info. I would love to schedule an apointment with a Neurologist (non surgeon). Can I do that without a Dr. referal? I spend winters in Palm Desert, Ca, but my home Dr. is in Washington and I do not have a G.P. in the desert to give me a referal
Thanks,
Duffer.
