Default I'm pressing

My PM to prescribe it for me to see if my head clears up a bit as I don't want to increase Neurontin for some increased neuropathies that occur I think because I'm weaning from Methadone.

I had a nasty flare up of symptom last month that mostly I've got under control however trying to wean off the pain medication I was advised by my OSS to bump up Neurontin to which I declined because of stupification factor.

I'd like to try Lyrica tho perhaps just as an adjunct with less Neurontin instead of none.

There are many health conditions in which there are 2 drugs of the same classification are utilized to combat symptoms/disease so I'd be happy if even a little addition of Lyrica perhaps could decrease some of the Neurontin fog effects (if there isn't a contradictory reason not to).

Will see if it even gets ordered for me and authorized by WC. It could be doubtful as WC likes to go with cheapest med that works.
