"I ran across some small study for diabetic neuropathy, but the agents are considerably different."
Perhaps he came upon the same study. The Lyrica causes every conceivable side effect. Blurry vision, nausea, headache fatigue. You name it. He refuses to try neurontin. Says he has not had a lot of luck with his patients with it. Yet Neurontin "is" prescribed for the type of pain I have. Go figure. Thanks for the input.I started the Lamictil and honestly cannot remember what side effect caused me to discontinue it.
Trying a lot of other things now so its not the time to try it again. I need to keep records because I have memory deficits, cognitive problems. Funny the Lyrica causes me to have almost no memory of the day I take it. Just bad all around except it completely gets rid of the pain when nothing else will.
Perhaps if I cannot persuade him I will ask my mother for a couple of hers to try.
