I'v been on 200 mgs of gabapentin for three weeks. Before that I was afraid to take it but finally gave up trying to tough it out. Now I take it only take it at night. I still have break through burning at night so it hasn't relieved that, but , for the most part, it helps me to sleep. I don't know about lyrica as I haven't tried it, but probably will down the line.

Lyrica was the only medication that helped my sfpn pain. Unfortunately I had serious side effects that put me in the hospital for a few days. Bummed because it was relieving the pain. My pain specialist prescribed Imipramine two months ago and it has really helped. I hope it will work long term.

I've tried so many meds, I wish I had kept track.

I'm sure you've figured out that there is a very long list of medications that people take. I hope you don't have to do a lot of trial and error.
