At 600 mgs. a day, i have no side effects and my memory is excellent...much better than my wifes, who is very intellegent and 8 years younger than i am.:)

> I believe you said ....its so different than Nuerontin that it shouldent be mentioned togther,wow thats quite a statement,have u taken Nuerontin,i ask because rather than let me try lyrica which i asked 3 times for,she stock piled the Nuerontin to over 3 grams which i dont take,so i ask in your opinion do you believe there is any way i could get the Nuerontin to mimick the effect of lyrica in anyway??

>I was on Neurontin back in 1999 for 6 months. I took 1200 mgs. a day and felt absolutely NOTHING! In my opinion, there is no comparison between Lyrica and neurontin. Lyrica (for me) is a miracle drug! Okay, bottom line..I LOVE LYRICA..LOL!
