While I was undiagnosed, I was on Neurontin for a couple of months and then tried
Lyrica. I do think
Lyrica relieved more pain, but it did cause me more side effects
and in the end, I was not happy with the balance of relief vs. complications.
Lyrica made me feel more dizzy and confused. For example, I would take my dose, and within minutes I wouldn't remember if I had taken it yet or not. That made me uncomfortable.
