Good morning. I'm on 450 mg/day of Lyrica. I still have a great deal of pain but the Lyrica takes the edge off. I was on Gabapentin for a while but it wasn't helping at all. I have never taken Neurontin so I can't compare. Diane in Canada - Original Message - From: harold [EMAIL

Harold I've had TM since '02 and was on neurontin for years. I was up to 2400mg a day. Then Lyrica appeared on the market. When I asked my neuro he just said it was the newest drug on the market for neuropathic pain, seemed to have less side effects. Now as we know we are all very unique and so is

I was given Neurontin in the early days of my illness. It made me very lethargic, and I was unable to tolerate it. My doctor then prescribed Lyrica. I take 400 mg twice a day. I also take 60 mg of Cymbalta, Vicodin three times a day, and also use a 50 mg Fentanyl patch. I still have

Harold, I was frightened by the drugs used to control TM pain... especially by the ramp up and adjustment I had read about. I now only use naltrexone and take an aspirin daily. I'm so grateful I learned about low dose naltrexone on this list. Akua --

The archives are just previous messages that have come through the TMIC. If it is in the archives that just means it has been discussed before, but that doesn't mean it can't be discussed again for those who weren't here then. Barbara H. _http://barbarah.wordpress.com/_

Thanks, Sal...I can't tell you how much this site has meant to me. Before I signed up for it, I was all alone with the TM and had so many questions. Since I found all of you, I can't wait to look at my e-mail each day to see what is happening and to 'talk' to you. I don't care if it is
