Hi! I a m new to the site, but not to Burning Pain (BP)! I tried Neurotin 1800mg and it caused a high degree of confusion and no relief from the pain. The confusion was so bad-I had to label common household objects and names of folks in pictures! Ugh! Lyrica works so well that I am able to sleep at night! My dosage is 400 mg per day-starting initally with 50 mg and slowly up to 400mg. It did take a year for this to occur. The interesting thing about drugs it that my two sisters has the same nerve problems and 50 mg of Lyrica wipes them out! I will never take neurotin again!!!!!

To answer your questions
1. Lessening of burning symptoms-- it did not help me 2. Little to no weight gain-- gained over 30 lbs 3. No swelling-- legs and ankles wear very swollen. It seemed very time I told the doc it did not help they increased the dose. I have been off it for a month lost 25lbs and the swelling is gone. I’m on new meds now and they are really helping me.
