I take this for my wacky sensations at night. I take 600mg , but most times I only need half the dose ..depends on the day...I just go with the flow :) what about neurontin ? Krissy, et al, Neurontin is an anti-seizure medication. My understanding is that you should not change dosage

I have cried and cried (and smiled a bunch, too) after reading the responses here on TMIC to my first post several days ago. I'm sending hugs back to each of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I know that you folks here understand the pain and difficulties. I'm so glad I came back to TMIC!

I have been on Lyrica for over two months now. I was taking Neurontin and Baclofen. I quit the neurontin and Baclofen a couple of years ago and started taking Effexor which worked pretty good for my pain. I also tried the Marinol but it made me feel to lethargic so I quit that pretty quick.
