If Neurontin gave me headaches does that mean Lyrica would also?
Exactly what is the reason for replacing Klonopin with Lyrica? Is it that Lyrica will help more with depression yet have the same anxylotic results as Klonopin? Is there enough benefit to justify the increased cost? Especially if Lyrica is not even on my plans formulary?
I forget, did you ever try Lamictal?
When I tried Lamictal I was also on Effexor and they didn't do well together but I was under extreme stress.
Now I am not under extreme stress and cannot understand why I can't function optimally. My brain needs something. And a few months ago I celebrated on the withdrawal board that I was off Zoloft and Klonopin. I have restarted the Klonopin (.50/day) but debating what to ask Dr. for to help returning depression. Zoloft made my cholesterol levels go sky high and gave me severe stomach distress.
I am open to suggestions.

My doctor want me to end up somewhere between 300 and 450mgs of Lyrica and be off the Klonopin. Sounds like an extreamly high dose you started on. I guess every doctor has their thoughts on this stuff. Good luck with it!
