My neuro (Head of Johns Hopkins neuro dept) told me
DO NOT wean off Gabapentin before taking Lyrica!! They should be titrated on a replacement schedule using the value of 1800 mgs Gabapentin/Neurontin = 300 mgs Lyrica to total the added value of Gabapentin taken on a daily basis. One replaces the other slowly, over a period of a week to two weeks, until the Lyrica has totally replaced the Gabapentin/Neurontin.

The divergence of opinion here is astounding but I'd sure say your info is from the most authoritatve source to date, so thank you for sharing it. I went ahead and took booth, the Gaba in the a.m. & the Lyrica at bedtime like the bottle says. I sure did wanna stay in bed the next a.m., haha. But (and it's the BIG BUT), no pain the next day, so it looks like I'm headed in the right direction, because NORCO & METHADONE aren't good for us in the long run
