Neuropathy: Anyone have any experience with gabapentin?

I'm looking for people who may have tried both Gabapentin and Lyrica? After being on gaba for a year or so, up and down on dosage, with questionable effect on burning pain symptoms, physiatrist started me on Lyrica 10 days ago. She said they are both in the same class of drug, but patients have different responses. I think Lyrica may be making me feel worse, and have been reading that a lot of people just hate it. What experiences can any of you share? Thanks.

I’ve had peripheral neuropathy for 20 years. Tried both Lyrica and Gabapentin in my opinion both are junk. They became popular when the idiots at the FDA and the DEA decided that they knew more than your personal doctor on how to treat your pain!! So now most states regulate how many or much opioids you shall receive a month. It’s a joke a sad joke. Millions of people are suffering everyday because of the nitwits at our esteemed government agencies!! I just want to live pain free!

Lyrica didn’t help me with the pain and as we upped the dosage it affected me psychologically. I got really irritable. It just made me mean! When I got off of it it was like a dark cloud moved out of my head.
