Lyrica seems to be the new Neurontin. It should help. My insurance will not cover Lyrica unless I am on Neurontin for 90 days and it is not helpful. Neurontin seems to cause weight gain and it makes my head feel the pain with numbness when it is happening. They asked me to try topamax again and I am scared because I don't like the side effects of it. I have numb fingers and toes. I have chiari 1 malformation, fibromyalgia and trigeminal neuralgia. When I get a good day I really appreciate it. I am thankful. Seems to be more bad days than good.
