Hi Soccermom,
Welcome to the forum but sorry you need to be here. I have been on both Neurontin and Lyrica for nerve pain and they both did a great job though you have to put up with the side effects. Some are lucky enough to have few and mild side effects which can be difficult to live with but the pain is worse. I found them equally effective for moderate to severe nerve pain. Neurontin has more severe side effects but is preferred by ins co. Lyrica is new and much more expensive and can have the same though less severe side effects. Talk to your pm... and you might ask him who is the best ns around you, then get another opinion.
