Anyone Taking Lyrica?
I am curious if anyone is taking lyrica for back pain. I just started it. It is making me groggy but seems to helping with the back.

Cymbalta
Does Cymbalta work the same as Gabapentin or Lyrica? Are all three used for neuropathy and depression?

I Have Been Put On Gabapentine Recently.
I take 200 mg in the a.m. and 200 mg in the pm. I have become so tired that I fall asleep anytime I sit down, in the middle of a face to face conversation,when I am on the telephone, and even when I am on the "John". Has anyone had the same effects from this medication?

My doctor prescribed Gabapentin to help, but the neuropathy doesn’t seem much better. I am trying to build strength and not need a walker to get around since my hospital,stay for pneumonia, but the “pillow feet” make me uneasy. Both feet feel numb.
Has anyone found something that helps more with the neuropathy?
Also, you might try Amitriptyline.

I've Not Seen Much Discussion Here On The Subject Of Pain Management SPECIFICALLY Related To Using Opioids. Why Is That Do You Think?
For instance, I've had severe CPIN for over a decade due to Velcade and the only pain med that helps reduce the pain is Percocet. Any folks here in similar situation? Are you using opioids for pain relief? If so, what is your daily dosage?
