My nerve pain has increased and i'm on the max dose of gralise. can switching to lyrica help, or are they too similar?

Nerve pain: Please continue to see your doctor and ask him/her about a medication change but don't make one before seeing the doc. Please also consider natural and non-invasive treatments such as biofeedback and/or clinical hypnosis (www.asch.net). A clinical psychologist trained in those areas can help. Peace and good health.
