hi doc,
I have been on Neurontin before, several times, and had no trouble getting off it.
I really thought they were very similar and that is why I was surprised I had such problems getting off Lyrica. Bottom line is they both help with neuropathy a great deal, I just have problems with side effects. Like many of us, I have to juggle side effects vs. dealing with the pain.
thanks for your concern, Diandra

Which sorta begs the question of some combination of the two, to get the most benefit with the least S/E. Past discussions here have asked the question with little concensus. Might be worth looking into, if you haven't already.

neurontin lyrica together
