Robert,
how is the trial with Lyrica going? Hope it is working for you.

I've had a bad cold this week and have not felt great, been tired, heavy headed, difficulty concentrating, etc. I'm hoping it's just the cold, but if not, then I'm not sure how long I'll hang in there if things don't improve. I understand that I should expect to be a little groggy at first and that it is supposed to get better. Plus I'm still coming off the klonopin while going up on the Lyrica. I didn't really have much experience with Neurotin so I can't help you with that, just know that Lyrica is it's replacement. It is supposed to deliver the drug at much lower doses, otherwise I don't think there is much difference. If had really given Neurotin a good try before without success, I don't think I would give Lyrica a try. If Lyrica fails I think I'll try Nardil and see what happens. Nothing else has worked better than Klonopin for me and that just didn't work quite well enough. I wish there were better answers for all of us....
