jerimycoplo,
your information is incorrect. pregablin works the exact same way as neurontin does (though it is a different chemical structure - so it has added benefits etc) however it is NOT a MAO inhibitor of gaba-transamine which breaks down gaba in the brain. It works like neurontin by modulating calcium channels. Read the posts above in which the characteristics of both neurontin and pregablin are generally expliained by both me and chemist. and yes neurontin has documented tolerance. A good resource you can use is medline, or pubmed.
