600857 tn?1230057770 The difference is that Neurontin has a lower binding affinity for this A2 delta subunit than does Lyrica. It has higher binding at lower doses and its binding percentage decreases at lower doses (but you still are delivered more milligrams of this medication as the dose increases). The maximum dose of Neurontin is generally 3600 mg in a day in divided doses (1200 mg three times a day). I have had patients on higher doses, as much as 5400 mg in s day.
1359227 tn?1282522148 Has anybody tried Neurontin? Does it work for nerve pain? How long does it take to take effect? My doctor prescribed it for me today...I haven't picked it up yet...I'm hoping it will help...
680499 tn?1233851308 I have been on Lyrica for over a year now for peripheral neuropathy. It has lost it's power for lack of better words. It takes the edge off but it certainly doesn't work like it use too.

Avatar f tn Keep us posted to see how you're doing! If it works I'll try it when I'm close to my due date or over due..does it taste gross? Or does it just end up giving you a ton of gas??

Avatar f tn I have been on Lyrica for neuropathy and polyradicalopothy. This medicine has caused me to gain over 40 pounds. I hate looking in the mirror now and having my picture taken. What is Savella?

778888 tn?1237989291 What are others experience with this drug--I need to work so I have to function too, does thie really work? Thanks alot!
Avatar f tn I too put on weight and not only did I have problems with fatigue secondary to the fibro, but the Lyrica made it even worse. I hope this epidural works--the MD has me off for a month! How did the epidural make everything worse? How has the fusion limited you in daily living?
Avatar f tn Your symptoms sound quite a bit like mine...especially the exhaustion and muscle pain. I was diagnosed with fibro and CFS in July, after 2 years of symptoms that kept developing over time. Cymbalta did not work for me either. I build a tolerance to meds very fast so most meds don't work for me or only work a short time. My suggestion would be to find a really good doctor who will listen to you (I know, easier said than done...
874521 tn?1424116797 Yes, I started on Lyrica about 9 mos. ago for my lower back pain & neuropathic pain, HOWEVER, it does work & I like the fact that I'm not taking as highly an addictive pain killer as an opiate, I've already gained 26 pounds! That's having switched from regular to DIET soda & DECREASED my food intake!!! So, be forewarned, you're gonna gain more than a little weight.
483733 tn?1326798446 Can I throw a question in here? How do you know if/when your Lyrica has stopped working? Is it the only med you take? I take so many meds that I don't have any idea what works and what doesn't work. When I see my rheumatologist he always asks how the Lyrica is working for me. How am I supposed to know? Also, question to geminigirl: You say you were on it a few years ago at the max dose. Was it hard for you to come off of it? Good luck Trudie. I hope your flare is short lived.
