A member asked:
I am allergic to neurotin. would i be able to take lyrica for nerve pain? i heard it's good for nerve pain & heard it does not have neurotin in it like gabapentine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely to get away with it. Neurontin is gabapentin, and Lyrica is pregabalin, both are chemically related. Chances are you will have an allergic reaction to Lyrica also!
