Has anyone ever tried Lyrica for neuropathy?

I’m on 225 mg 75 mg x 3A day. Not much diff than the 1800mg gsbapentin I was previously using.

Hi
I’ve been on gabapentin but switched to pregabalin which is better for brain fog and pain for me. I do have a constant headache across my temples and my tinnitus has worsened. Does anyone else experience this? I was originally on 75mg 2x day but have dropped it to 50mg 2x day with same effects.
What is the lowest dose people have found beneficial? These drugs are tricky to balance.
Thanks

I am suffering from numbness in the right buttocks down the right leg and my right foot. I had that same numbness plus fairly severe pain from a pinched spinal chord due to spinal narrowing and disc deterioration (overly simple explanation). After spinal surgery the pain and the numbness were totally relieved. About a month ago the numbness reoccurred and seems to be getting worse at times-thankfully no pain yet. Pain management prescribed 150 mg pregabalin daily, advising I probably would have to take it at least a month for any results. Well, the after the first day the numbness noticeably lessened and the mental malaise (from another condition) I have suffered from for over a year greatly improved, all with no side effects! The numbness is still there, and I have gotten used to this level, so I am not sure if it is still working as well as when it was first started. Mentally it has restored my interest in living again! I am due to increase it to 300 mg-hopefully with more benefits. I really am averse to taking a lot of RX medications, but this one has been a god send for me.

YES, Pregabalin is the generic version which is what most insurance companies will provide. I have taken this drug for about 2+ years, up to 200 mg now but need to increase again as my pain is not well-controlled. The only side effect is sleepiness. But I am 85, long-time retired so that is kinda okay. Slept till 11am this morning but am a night owl & rarely go to bed before 11-12pm.

I use a cane indoors & a walker outdoors or when away from home. I gave up driving 5 years ago. I am fortunate to live alone in a trailer on my son's property & have family near-by.

I have been on pregabalin (lyrica) for years, 75 mg at bed. But my nerve pain in my foot worsened. I hated to increase to 150 mg at bed, but it stopped the nerve pain. I have gained weight on it, which I hate. It doesn't help with my insomnia like a low dose of amitryptiline does. I do have brain fog issues daily.

@jacksonb1959 I have the research evidence to show that at 150 mg per day it’s pain control is no better than the placebo used in the test. It has to be at least 300 my per to be effective.
