Hello all
I am new here so here is what I take:

Neurontin - Started on it 4 years ago at a small dose and it helped, the pain is getting worse in my feet and legs so I am now maxed out at 3600 mg and it will help for awhile. The beginning side effects SUCK being sick to my stomach and sleepy, but they do go away.

Lyrica - Started around 2 years ago (I think) it seems to help

Tramadol & Hyrdocodone I take one around every 4 hours and switch back and forth. Taken along with wearing a fentynal patch it keeps me able to move around and live.

Man reading what I wrote makes me sick that my life kinda sux right now. I want it back!!!

bluesz,
Do you takeboth Neurontin & Lyrica, or have you switched ?

I take both.

Aren't they basically the same drug? Lyrica is just FAR more powerful than Neurontin?

My Neuro explained Lyrica is 8x more powerful than Neurontin and if he up's the Neruontin and makes an equiv. does it will be about the same response?

Has that helped you more than just the other?

WOW I didnt know that. I really cant tell what is working for what anymore. I have an appointment to see a neurologist on Dec 14, I am hoping that will help sort crap out with me.

So I cant tell you what does what I am a drone and take what those guys give me... shame on me.
