Hi, I've been taking gabapentin for about 5 years I think. I'm now 53 will be 54 in April. I take 3 x 300 mg's a day. I used to take cymbalta also but with losing my medical insurance I've gone off that. I need to find out if I can find something else to take. So I need to work on that soon.

Anyway, I'm working on it.

You could try looking at pregabalin. I was prescribed it for peripheral neuropathy as it was stronger than gabapentin for which its supposed to be a replacement. Not a cheap med however so not sure if thats an issue for you.

I think that is the generic for Lyrica. Which is not good for me till I
get my insurance back. And if I do that I can get my cymbalta
back. And then I should be okay.

If not then I will be switching somethings.
