Neuarotin Verses Lyrica
UpdatedI have been taking Neuarotin 2400mg a day.Doctor changed me to Lyrica 150a day. I have diabetic neurophy in my feet and hands.My question is the numbness woresened now because of the difference in drug strength or a side effect of Lyrica?

They are both anticonvulsants that can help with nerve pain, so the side effects are really the same for both.
I think it is most likely due to the dosage change. The 150mgs a day of the Lyrica is a bit lower in equivalency than the 2400mg a day you were on of the Neurontin.

Have you talked to your doctor about it?
They may need to raise your dose slightly.
