Does anyone here take Gabapentin for nerve pain?

1. I was on it for a long time

And was switched to Lyrica. It doesn't metabolize as fast so I can take a lesser dosage, less often, and it seems to dull, the nerve pain that feels like pin pricks or a hot ash falling on your skin, better.

Talking to your Dr is the best idea. Maybe your dose needs adjusted or when you take it? Sometimes it just takes a while to get used to it. It actually does have psychoactive effects. We used a lot of it to reduce behaviors in older adults. It's an anti seizure medication as well so you know it's working on your wiring.

I take my highest does at night and sleep through the side effects.
