Neurontin is pretty tolerable -- its a bit sedating when you first start it and you might slur your words a bit but beyond that it is sort of an adjunctive medication. Beyond around 900mg at at time and it just goes right down the loo, its sort of self-limiting.


Lyrica has some more side effects, it can blur vision, at least in around 10% of people, which unfortunately includes me. Otherwise, I suppose its fairly similar to Neurontin but it is newer and so caution is probably warranted over Neurontin.
