Hi, I take Lyrica 75 and Gabapentin300. After trying Lyrica daily I quit it after a few weeks. I woke up in the middle of the night with food spread all over my bed (I never do that), I gained a pound with each pill. I noticed immediate relief though from a lot of the low level electric pain which in my case I have had since birth.

Instead I use the two meds only as needed. Today my fingers are white and shriveled and shootong pain under the nails because I was shoveling snow yesterday. I took both pills today. In 10 or 12 hours I might again or not. This was not how it was perscribed but it is my life, let the doctor try to live under those meds, not me.

I am 58 and had a birth injury. I was a teacher but retired at 50 because of chronic pain. I use medical marijuana and morphine30x3.

Hope that is helpful. I started running 2 years ago after smoking. Hard to believe but true. Two different doctor who never would sign papers did so for me. I have Peripheral Neuropathy.
