Trudy I'm sorry to hear that you're now in a wheelchair. I hope you improve from your fall. The timing of your post is perfect. I'm going through the Neurontin vs. Lyrica decision right now. I have a two month supply of Lyrica samples that my neuro gave me two weeks ago so I could make the switch if I make that decision. Yesterday I saw a new gp and asked him what his experience with Lyrica had been. He said about 50/50. He felt it had too many side affects. He asked me to stick with my Neuro's first plan of increasing my Effexor dose. If that didn't offer enough pain relief he would like to see me switch from Effexor to Cymbalta. I'm saving your post as a reminder that this decision isn't to be taken lightly.
