@kathrihe I have been on Gabapentin for nerve pain for years. To be more effective, it should be taken 3 times a day ie every 7-8 hours. My pain is increasing so I am wondering if I should be changed to Lyrica so I will ask my doctor. Has anyone changed from Gabapentin to Lyrical?

@joannehart I've been taking 3600mg of gabapentin a day for years. 1200mg 3 times a day, morning, afternoon, and night, along with 1200mg of ALA for the pain in my feet. It only dulls the pain so it's always there, but most of the time it's bearable.
@joannehart Hello! I changed it, because gabapetin made breathingdifficulties. Lyrica helped, but it has a lot of side effects to me (I am sleepy, remain in my thoughts, not so effective etc.)

@joannehart No have not tried Lyrical but would like to try it. I have the same problem as you. I only take Gabapentin morning and evening. Not enough to kill the pain but helps some. Yes, I would like to hear from those taking Lyrical.
