I would suggest trying Lyrica if you begin to suspect that the neurontin is no longer helping (I initially chose Lyrica over neurontin because it was initially developed as a more potent version of it. It looks like it's been the most successful thing for me over the last month+ I've been taking it. (of course it could also be the 1.5 mg dosage of clonazepam, but needless to say I haven't had to raise my clonazepam dose in over a month, which I had to keep increasing for a couple of months before.)Whatever depression i was feeling from it before seems to have passed. I don't feel "great", but it's been quite a while since I felt myslef in an exruciating condition. I'm going to try replacing my clonazepam with buspar soon, so I might get a better idea of what the Lyrica is doing.
Truth be told, I haven't been through a panopoly of medications (somewhat due to being tied to a tricyclic,) but for the time being, but I don't see any immediate reason to stop taking Lyrica.
