Dale,

I have tried neurontin before and the side effects were terrible. I was told that the side effects of lyrica were much less. If that is not the case I may not fight too hard to get it! I have lived with a certain amount of pain for so long, I think that if I did not feel it, I would have to check if I were still alive!

What king of side effects are you having with the lyrica? I had nausea and dizziness with neurontin to the point I was sick in bed...of course my leg felt better for what that was worth. I am just as bad with pain meds as the neurontin so I usually just try to deal with the pain. Doesn't make life much fun!
I hope that the switch to pain meds instead of lyrica works for you.
