> Lyrica and Neurontin are alike in many ways. Neither of them like me very much, though. They really screw me up cognitively (probably because of alpha-2-delta subunit of the calcium channel blockade). However, the two did feel different to me. There is some literature describing the use of Neurontin in opioid withdrawal. Results have been equivocal. The dosages used by some were probably too low (900mg). In any event, I would not approach Neurontin with great optimism. I would not skip it over, though.Ditto on the cognition *-*
I'm gonna call the gp now. Thanks for the links. Today is turning out to be tough again.
Thanks Scott.
