I took an extra dose in the middle of the day yesterday, I went ahead and just took the 300 because I'm out of 100's. I don't think I really felt any more side effects, my feet were still buzzing. I'm going to take one in the morning, one right after work at 5pm and then at night. Maybe after a few days it'll feel better? I figure after work is a good time to try it, just in case I do get a bit tired or whatever. I suppose eventually it'll be morning, lunch, dinner and bedtime huh?

Doc suggested a couple other things. I took one and didn't like it. The other two didn't look good regarding side effects.

Lyrica is only brand name, and I have a generic only plan. Maybe once my settlement comes through I can get it, but not right now. I looked on their website and am not eligible for any assistance.

And @groucho, don't worry, I don't get offended easily.

LOL. Thanks. I guess I get a bit ornery because I'm already tired of dealing with the PN, and I know it's not likely to go away. Yes, getting in at least a 3rd dose (wears off for me & need 4 daily) will slow those ups & downs that seem to make the side effects more noticeable. If you're like me, the strange & somewhat pleasant feelings in your feet will wane very soon & you'll think it's not working for you anymore. But you should find that your pain levels aren't as severe. I don't think I'd want to do Lyrica, due to the fact that it can become habit forming & Gabapentin isn't so much so. I have a Navy buddy who started taking, once a day, Nortriptyline, an antidepressant, & he seems satisfied (but not happy) with it & I may switch to it. My Neuro offered me either drug, or both, if I felt I needed the extra relief. I just don't know if the small amount of extra relief is worth combination therapy, to me.
