Lyrica vs. Neurontin for Neuropathy in foot
Are any of you gals taking Lyrica vs. Neurontin for neuropathy in the feet? I took Neurontin in the spring, and it made me feel drowsy. I saw a Podiatrist last week to remove Planter Warts on the bottom of my foot(which he said probably came from the chemo and a virus). He said he hasn't prescribed Neurontin in 8 months, and he is having great success with Lyrica. Side affect of Lyrica is weight gain. I was starting to lose weight, and I am fighting the battle of the bulge again. Oddly enough, the Lyrica seems to be helping--so far.
Eventually, I should have the bionic body.
