Hi group! I'm curently taking 800 mg nuerotin tid. It helps a lot with my nerve pain,but i get bad mood swings,and i hear lyrica is a good nerve pain med. Just wondering if anyone has switched from nuerotin to lyrica,or anyone can give me some feedback on it,and tell me how well it works for you,etc..
Thanks madhatter.

I switched from Nuerotin 1800mg a day to Lyrica 300mg a day a few months back and found that Lyrica was definatly the most helpful of the two with regards pain relief; however I found I put loads of weight on with Lyrica. That's my only gripe.

I was just switched from Lyrica 300mg to nuerotin 600mg yesterday. Couldnt handle the side effects of the lyrica. Didnt have the weight gain after the first few weeks but once they bumped me up to 300mg a day I was very confused and very tired. I have heard that the nuerotin will do the same thing but the doctor says all I can do is try it and see how it goes. He is willing to give me a nerve block on that right side but told him I wanted to wait a few more weeks and see if the left side starts hurting again. Had an injection about 5 weeks ago and have been basically pain free on the left. Just trying to get over the right side nerve pain....

good luck on the lyrica. I have to say it did help at first with the nerve pain...
