Hi Tee, sorry to hear you have fallen, hope you didn't hurt yourself too much. I am taking Lyrica 150mg at bedtime, and the past 3 days whilst I was still in the hospital they put the Gabapentin up from 100mg three times a day to 300mg three times a day. Thinking of switching from Lyrica to Gabapentin. (I mean when u get right down to it aren't these like a molecule off from being the same drug) I'm actually currently prescribed both and I'm concerned that this may be over medicating and I'm also concerned with the whopping price of lyrica and see a insurance change in my future.
