I take both everyday for the last 3 years. I have CIPN.
If I miss a dose I NOTICE it. Especially at night, I will not be able to sleep without the mess. I do have the sharp needle pains at times however the total numbness is worst. People think being numb you feel nothing. Not exactly. Being numb, its a different not pleasant feeling...
I take it 600mg 2x day. Sometimes 3x day. The morning time I used to take 60mg Duloxetine, now its 90mg day

These work for me

@ashleymeade I am only on 100mg of Lyrica at night. The problem wth all these drugs is the body reaches a place where they don’t work anymore and so you have to keep increasing them. For me, I take one drug and increase it and I’m hit with another health issue so I’m doing my best to remain on this low dose. It was increased to 200mg slowly and my blood pressure went crazy so the low dose will have to do. During the day I struggle to deal with this illness. I no longer want to go out anymore. I feel safe at home just dealing with things on my own. I can’t walk without my walker anymore and I am unable to stand alone. It’s just too painful for me to go anywhere because I need help with my walker. Life has to go on though so I smile and put my best foot forward when it’s working! 🤣
