Welcome @cstroinski, There is another discussion where you may want to post your question.

-- Lyrica - Looking for Patient Experiences: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/lyrica-looking-for-patient-experiences/

@artscaping @sport1776 @retired123 and others may have some suggestions or information with their experience.

Have you discussed your increase of pain after switching medicaitons with your doctor?

I only switched a few days ago. I thought Gabapentin had maxed out on relief. I will be contacting my doctor, thanks.

@cstroinski, Good evening and thanks for the introduction John. I have one observation that might be of some value. I didn't notice any remarks about tapering off the Gabapentin before undergoing a graduated start for
the Lyrica. You mention a "switch last week". Did you consult with your clinician before "switching"?

I tapered off Nortriptyline and 600 mg of Gabapentin for a couple of months before beginning Duloxetine and a second dose of medical cannabis. It all worked perhaps because I was very careful and kept in touch with my PCP.

Good luck with the change......give your body time to adjust.

Chris
