I was on 3600mg of Neurontin and now take 300-450mg Lyrica a day with NO side effects, whereas the Neurontin was affecting my concentration. I was also on Baclofen and Zanaflex, for spasms/spasticity, Florinef and Amatine, for my LOW blood pressure Nortryptaline, for pain at night, Senokot and Colace, Bisacodyl suppository for bowel, oxybutynin for bladder. As well Naproxyn or Relpax for migraines. I now no longer take the Zanaflex as unfortunatly it was causing my upper body to weaken (good arm was turning to uselessness).

As an RN, I have seen way too much of this and always feel it's poor MD control, not the fault of the patient.
