I've been taking Lyrica (a lot of it) for several months- I'm up to 450 mg/day. It does seem to leave me less dopey than Neurontin.

Before Lyrica, I was on Neurontin for years, with an escalating dose and attendant side effects, but decreasing relief. Initially, Lyrica made things a lot better, but I'm on the cusp of switching again, this time to Cymbalta. The burning sensation in my legs, feet, and, uh, crotch, has become intolerable.

I've been on Cymbalta in the past, and it worked well for the pain, but it really aggravated my bladder issues. This time around, I've contacted my urologist to see if there's something he can do for me to make Cymbalta work this time around.
