i was on lyrica fora very short time. positive results for awhile,not long
enough.

combined with cymbolta 120 mg and lamicitel 350.

i hear from others lyrica has been very successful, reducing pain.

they were non diabetic pn peeps who felt positive results
.
i knew of one sufferer, pn was caused by chemo (not uncommon) and felt
wonderful.

did you try methadone as a painblocker. it's very effective for some of us.

good luck, iamwags
