A member asked:
What medications to use if you've already used gabapentin and lyrica (pregabalin)?
10 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends on problem: These are anticonvulsants (seizure medications). They are also used for pain. So, the answer depends on why these are used. Sometimes other anticonvulsants could be considered. If for pain, the wider spectrum antidepressants (slightly newer drugs) are sometimes used for pain, including cymbalta (duloxetine).

Depend on conditions: Gabapentin and Lyrica (pregabalin) are anti-seizure medication. If you talk them for seizure, there are many more choices. If you take them for nerve pain, you might benefit from medication change. Please see your doctor to discuss your concern.
