I was wondering if there really is much difference between neurontin and lyrica. Could it be that since neurontin has gone generic the drug company needs to put out a new drug to generate more money. Neurontin is now very cheap. Lyrica is very expensive.
So, those of you who have switched, is Lyrica any better? I know you can take fewer pills, but is there really any difference? I am truly curious as if it is so good, I may try it.
Thanks for your input,
Natalie

I believe that the Neurontin & Lyrica are made the same.That is why the side effects are the same. So if you are doing good on the Neurontin, you should do better on the Lyrica.Hope this helps,LYRICA IS A DRUG THEY WANT TO PUT ME ON. I WAS PUT ON CYMBALTA FOR NEOPATHIC PAIN WITH NEURONTIN. THEY WHERE GOING TO WEAN ME OFF THE NEURONTIN THEN JUST BE ON CYMBALTA. I HAD A BAD REACTION TO CYMBALTA SO I AM ON THE NEURONTIN. I AM ALLERGIC TO MANY DRUGS OR THEY INTERFERE WITH MY COUMADIN.
