I take Lyrica at night because it makes me sleepy and I don't want to be sleepy during the day. I take gabapentin during the day -- it is similar to Lyrica but it doesn't make me sleepy. I've always been a 'type A dynamo' but now I'm slowing down so I do as much as I can. I'm sorry that you have RA; my mother in law had it - it was very painful. I hope you find remedies. Peggy

I have tried gabapentin two times. It messed up my mind and did not help at all for any of the pains I experience. Four Advils help but they kill the kidneys. Using Advils I will die sooner but without most of the pain. Opioids do not help the pains and messes up my mind. So where do we go from here? ,I have RA and PsA and chronic venus insufficiency and alsoaa few others. When two of them attack at the same time it is horror.
