I found that Lyrica and Gabapentin do different things;
Gaba is better for calming nerves and allows me to drink more caffeine
without blowing up. But it is not as effective on pain as is Lyrica. When
I just took Lyrica no pain but couldn't drink much coffee; but when I took
less Lyrica and added some Gabapentin then the pain was still downmost of
the timeand I could tolerate a lot more coffee drinking. Funny thing.
Lyrica just killed the burning and needles and voltages, just flattened it.
Perfect is good enough, right?

II was on Lyrica for many years - and it works great. I cold turkey quit
taking it in November. Since then I have been getting by on Oxycontin, or
Oxycodone, sometimes both. However - when the burning pain and the numbness
and whatnot gets too great, I will still take a dose or two of the Lyrica as
it really does help. I may eventually go back on it full time - depending
on how the next few months pan out. I prefer the Lyrica over gabapentin
because I can take less of it with greater results.
Oxy is getting very difficult if not impossible to get in my town.
