I wasn't able to tolerate either Cymbalta or Lyrica which were prescribed by the pain management doctors at a huge medical center. I told my internist and she suggested a protocol that has been used for many years for chronic pain. It is a combination of Norco, gabapentin and Neurontin. I think that's right but truthfully I am visiting family and didn't bring the bottles with me. This has worked well for me for 14 years.
