Hi everyone, I have had fibromyalgia for 9 years now along with neuropathy for 8 years. I have been on Lyrica for 9 years since before the diagnosis of Neuropathy. However, I was prematurely taken off of it a few years ago completely and then had the dose cut down by two thirds. This actually caused me to go into a withdrawal since I was on the highest dose at the point. I am now currently graduating back up the ladder if you will with it. My current dose 300 mg daily divided into 3 100 mg capsules. I am unsure if it will help because my pain has gotten progressively worse over time, and I am unsure if this dose or another increase will do anything to help with my pain. I am very leery to even consider another drug. My experience with gabapentin and Cymbalta and I did not see any improvement in my symptoms. I am not even sure where to go now in terms of pain meds. I have spinal stenosis which could be making things even worse now. I am now in constant pain and having problems dealing with temperature changes as well. I am considering going the natural route already.

Hi @rely1ngonhelp,

I'm not sure if you have seen the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy website but they do have a listing that you can download and print of Complementary and Alternative Treatments for neuropathy -- https://www.foundationforpn.org/treatments/

Have you heard of the Pain Rehabilitation Center? You might find the following post by @rwinney in the Anyone had a successful experience w/ Mayo Pain Rehabilitation Center? discussion helpful - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/690658/

Has anyone tried Horizsnt.300 mg?
