A member asked:
For mononeuropathy, would 900mg of gabapentin (x3 a day), or 75mg of lyrica (pregabalin) (3x a day) be better? i still hv pain w/both esp. first thing in the a.m.

Impossible to say: Different people respond differently. Some will do better on gabapentin and some on Lyrica (pregabalin). Your gabapentin dose is high and your Lyrica (pregabalin) dose is relatively low so you are really comparing apples and oranges.
