I too was on gabapentin, but it didn’t stop the pain. I have radiation damage to my right sciatic nerve. The pain is severe. I am now on Lyrica and it does help with the pain thank God. I take 300 mg twice a day.
I have gained about 10 pounds in three months. I have stage four breast cancer and I just started a new chemo. This is the first intervenous chemo that I have taken, and I tried water fasting the day before the chemo the day of the infusion and the day after the chemo. For the last month I have not eaten much because I don’t feel well. I still have not lost a single pound. Which I think is very odd. I have brain fog from the Chemo so I apologize if I am rambling. I am going to discuss the low-dose drug that has been discussed here.

@dianeguy yes it does help with nerve pain to quote Yoon Hang Kim, MD, MPH - "Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) has emerged as a promising therapeutic option for numerous chronic conditions from fibromyalgia and chronic pain to autoimmune disorders and mast cell activation syndrome."
I suggest you go to the Low Dose Naltrexone Support Group http://www.LDNSupportGroup.org and check them out. If you join you can download the Low-Dose Naltrexone Primer to give you more information.
I wish well on your journey and hope I have been helpful.
