Drug Change

Updated

I have a question in regards to Lyrica. After an accident I have been on Neurontin 1800 mg for about 3 years, do to damage to my back and nerve damage.Will this drug in smaller doses do the same and/or better. It scares me to change a drug that works for me..

I was on Neurontin also. I went to a shoulder specialist and he perscribed the Lyrica 50 mg 3 times per day. I found that I no longer need to take the Neurontin and I feel more alert. He didn't tell me to stop taking anything. I just stopped the Neurontin on my own.

I would like to find out more about mixing Neurontin and Lycra at the same time. My doctor perscribed this for me today and now I am kind of worried. I also take Amitriptyline. I have been diagnosed with RSD/CRPS.
