I've tried them all. Lyrica was helping the first few weeks but side effects landed me in the hospital for a couple of days. Some of my siblings have told me that Gabapentin has helped them. I did take Cymbalta for a while, but I was trying other things around the same time, so I never figured out if it did any good.

Yes, I have taken all three. None helped my pain although I was primarily taking Gabapentin & Lyrica for Seizures and was on the max dose of Neurontin (3,600mg) Neither worked for my seizures or Neuropathy. I read only about 15% of Neuropathy patients get relief from it. I also took Cymbalta for a short time which didn’t help either.

Lyrica CR 165mg has helped some parts of my neuropathy. Enough to stay on as part of my combined treatment.
Cymbalta, I honestly don't even know. Don't think it's done a dang thing for pain but do think it's helped me to not be such a worry wart... settles my anxiety.

No help!
