Has anyone ever tried Lyrica for neuropathy?

I was taking a trial of Lyrica a few years ago and one day became incoherent. I couldn't finish a sentence. ER admitted me for 3 days and figured out that I was reacting to Lyrica. Unfortunately, it was the only medication that ever helped my PN pain. It was a bummer that I couldn't tolerate it!

I know that it has helped a lot of people.

@jimhd One drug was useless for me, one was as brain numbing as tramadol and Lyrica, even a high does is not brain numbing and is effective for my pain. Unfortunately, I experience Lyrica troughs that require more frequent dosing. It is critical to work with your doctors through some trial and error on medicines and dosing.
