I have been on neurontin 800mg 4x day and lyrica 100mg 3x day for pain in my foot from diabetes. I've been on these for about 5 years and today out of the blue mybdoc tells me I have to pick just one, can't be on both anymore. No explanation, nothing. I found out that in Europe they are making neurontin a controlled substance on 4/15 /19 or 4/19/19, I forget which. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem?
Thanks
anyone?
Finally got to speak to doc who then said she'd leave my meds alone but we'd discuss weaning one down at my next office visit. She the proceeds to write me 5 refills on each. I think sometimes they read a journal article about something and decide to try it out.
Since I only go into the office about once a year or discussion about weaning my meds will have to wait for a bit, and by then she will have moved on.
