A member asked:
What drug would be advised if lyrica (pregabalin) doesn't help ? is it always best to avoid strong painkillers ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lyrica (pregabalin): I do not know about always, but a steppe approach worth a try. I see your wife has neuropathic pain. Tylenol, (acetaminophen) Motirn. Also consider Capsaiscin or talk to your doctor about a topical anesthetic patch.
