Neuropathic Pain
"Like many others, my pain doctor had me on gabapentin first, then after several months without relief, switched me to Lyrica. Without a generic version available, it can cost a small fortune depending on your insurance. Without any insurance, 100mg capsules 3X daily, 90 pills will cost upward of $600! With my Part D, and not qualifying for &quot;Extra Help&quot; through the state, I&#039;m now paying $140 for a 2 week supply, $280 monthly. That&#039;s a car payment! I have no idea what to do once the free samples run out, it&#039;s a very good medication but unaffordable. If your doctor tells you gabapentin (Neurontin) works the same, chemically there&#039;s no difference, that just isn&#039;t true. It may be similar, but Lyrica works much better with significantly less mg&#039;s"
