I take Lyrica as well, but at a much higher dose.....300mg 4xday for Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy. I developed neuropathy following a spine injury in 2003. I had two spinal stimulators placed in 2008, but they were only affective for 5 years. I was on opiods for 8 years as well. Last spring I went through Mayo's Pain Management Center which got me off the opiods and taught me how to manage the pain with only OTC meds and Lyrica. I am currently managing things pretty well with infrequent "bad " days.
