Would it be possible to take a poll on here to see how many people feel the Gabapentin actually works? Between it and Lyrica the vast majority of people on this forum are on one or the other.
I certainly do not want more pain, but like Mary I do not want to take anything I may not need.
Thank you!

Susanne,
I tried Lyrica (after gabapentin). My neurologist wanted me to shift from gabapentin to lyrica because at that time, I thought I had still pain with Gabapentin. Taking lyrica, at least for me, was scary because it seems I could not control thinking of extremely negative thoughts. I don't remember if my pain was better, my mind was preoccupied of something else.
As much as possible, i will maintain a good distance from Lyrica.
Mary
