Default Lyrica for Peripheral Neuropathy

I have been suffering with Peripheral Neuropathy in my feet for 2 years and after many tests, all negative, a reason for this condition is unknown. My pain has increased horribly over the past year and even with taking Neurontin 2400 mgs a day, I was still in horrible pain. The other day my podiatrist put me on Lyrica (although we tried this before and the insurance company refused the coverage), he gave me samples for 2 weeks, 50mg 3 times a day and then to switch to a perscription he gave me for 150 mg twice a day. My problem, I started the Lyrica, stopped the Neurontin and am now in such unbearable pain, I cannot walk, all I want to do is cry it hurts so much and I am finding strained muscles up and down my legs from the tension I am feeling. Should I go back on the Neurontin along with this Lyrica until the Lyrica kicks in? I cannot exist like this, I am not myself.
