Has anyone ever tried Lyrica for neuropathy?

I would ask the Doctor to lower the dose of Pregabalin at night since there are severe risks of combining Tramadol and pregabalin.
Maybe don't take both?
My experience :
I had Shingles at age 76 last year and Pregabalin greatly relieved my Nerve pain . 300 was way too much that I stumbled to walk more than a few steps. Finally 100mg was acceptable for the pain relief but I could barely talk clearly on 100.
After 6 weeks the blisters from shingles cleared up but the burning and itchiness remains on my jaw and cheek.
I now only take 50mg/day as needed.
Please see another MD if possible about combination of Tramadol & Pregabalin.
Pregabalin (alone) at a Lower Dose might be all you need for Neuropathy (nerve pain).
I'm worried for you!

I was on the lowest dose of Lyrica and the fatigue was so bad I could hardly walk to my car. So, I threw them out and went to a nature store and bought 600 mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid which the owner takes and sells like hotcakes - had only one bottle left. I got the brand Source Naturals also with a good vitamin B complex as the B12 is needed with this pins and needle condition and was told your body pees out the excess B it doesn't need. I am 90% better thanks to these two supplements. Good Luck
