Can Gabapentin make neuropathy pain worse?

When I had pain in my back my doctor switched me from gabapentin to pregabalin. It may work better because I only have to take it twice a day instead of three. I often was late on the middle dose.
It has helped the peripheral neuropathy in my feet caused by chemo. I'm 82.

Pregabalin is my miracle drug. Take one about “dark thirty” ( it’s such a mystery that my pain can tell time). I take another about 9:30 and lately I have not had a lot of nighttime spasms. I have a very rare disease called arachnoiditis. Without a doubt, there are people on this site who have it and have no idea. I have yet to find a doctor in Louisiana who has even heard of it. I was diagnosed at Duke. Currently there is no cure and no real treatment plan.

Thank you raebaby. I'll ck with my neuro to see if that's an option. I'm happy you have found some relief.
