Thanks all,

Bob, I have been on 400 mg for just over 3 weeks.

Dahkek, thanks for the links, I have read them and I seem to have the lack of concentration and the abnormal thinking, which is defined as “difficulty with concentration/attention but also includes events related to cognition and language problems and slowed thinking”

The Lyrica if definitely giving me good pain relief, I still have pain but it is manageable so I will stick with it and hope the side effects lessen, if they do not then I will have to decide whether to try a different medication. The problem seems to be that the medications available for neuropathic pain fall into the same class of drugs, anti seizures or anti depressants so we really don’t have a lot of choices available! As you may recall I really need to get back to work but as my job require high level thinking and problem solving this is going to be problematic!

As ever your responses to my post have helped me move forward on my journey of getting to grips with all this.
