@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

Thanks Chris I did work with pain management doctor on making the switch. There is literature suggesting no tapering needed if you are using for neuropathy vs. seizures.
