First, you take neurotin or the generic for epilepsy already.
So I would talk to the Epilepsy doctor about if going up on this would hurt the epilepsy. I also take neurotin. Until just recentlly I took 900mg. 450 mg twice a day. This really helped me a lot. I also took magnesium, but I take 1000mg at a time two times a day. I also take zanaflex 3 times a day now. Its 4mg. I just went up on the neurotin generic, to 900mg 3 times a day. I also take topamax generic as a migraine med, and verapmil. I have tylenol with codeine a 10mg of that. For pain when I need it. Donna |

I was prescribed Lyrica by my rheumatologist- an anti epilepsy which is also used to control fibromyalgia pain and as a mood stabiliser for bipolar.
But as I am already on Lamictal for bipolar, my psychiatrist was unhappy with the idea of adding yet another mood stabiliser. But I read around a bit and felt Tramadol might work for me. The rheumy OK-ed it and ever since then I have been mostly comfortable. It does work better with an analgesic to kick-start it. I find Diclogesic (diclofenec+Paracetomol) work much better than plain Paracetomol. I am of course very careful about taking a proton-pump-inhibitor twice a day with it. Doctors anyway prescribe that as a routine with NSAIDS. Take care
