A member asked:
I am currently on gabapentin 1200 mg a day and was wondering if since it's not working good should i try lyrica (pregabalin) ?

Gabapentin lyrica (pregabalin): usually if gabapentin does not appear to be working switching to lyrica (pregabalin) is reasonable. You also might want to try Horizant as the bioavailability is better.
