Question Sounds odd..

Hi there..
I have just switched from Gabipentin which is also called Neurontin to Lyrica.

I was told to 1/2 my Gabipentin for the first week and to take 75mg of Lyrica a day. Second week no Gabipentin and double the lyrica to 300mg a day. Thats harsh on the reburn but eased off soon enouph as the Lyrica got into my system.

I am on week three and though I noticed alot of burning and zappies the second week it is not as bad this week. But I have some blurred vision (did with Gab too) and more alarming some almost dizyness or disorientation, so doc decided not to upp it though I still have some burning that the Gab was taking care of I guess.

I am sure not a doctor but I was told we taper off one as we upp the other, my doc was very seriouse about this, see what others say here and research Lyrica in google as well.

Hey I just saw an add for Lyrica in the front inside page of a Readers Digest in the docs office today.

Good luck to ya bud, I do feel better generaly than with the gab I think.
