Gabapentin scary side effects

I have had Diabetic foot neuropathy for 13 years. I was on the max dose of Gabapentin until that wasn't working anymore. Then my doctor switched me to Lyrica which I have been on for years. Currently, I am trying to get off of Lyrica. I am at the max for Lyrica. 600mg/day. I feel like it has been affecting my memory, like brain fog. I am still having terrible pain at night and occasionally during the day. I have tried aspercreme, and salonpas patches. Those don't work. The only thing that is helping is edible THC gummies and THC topical balm. Does anybody else have solution to this pain?

@beachgal2112 I wish I did, but I do not. I have been trying EVERYTHING out there that I can afford. Nothing topical works for me. I am also on Lyrica 200mg 3 times daily, and don't like the brain fog as well (drives me crazy), or the constipation. I was trying THC gummies when I lived in another state where it is legal. It did help me some, but now we live in another state where it is NOT legal. I am currently trying R‑alpha‑lipoic acid 600mg twice daily, which I think is helping some, but I just started taking it last week. Need more time to get it into my system to see true results. Just be sure that if you decide to try it to get the (R) version and not the standard one. Hopefully that or something else can help you.
