The neurontin tends to have more side effects than the lyrica. I was always very tired and headach-y on neurontin. Dizzy too, but I have real low blood pressure and orthostatic hypotension that was NOT helped by the neurontin in any case. These side effects did not go away in the 3+ years I too neuronitn. I have less problems on the Lyrica now.

Re: Lyrica vs. Neurontin
I am on lyrica now and also been on nerotin I like the lyrica better and I am still a very active person. I take it 150x3 my insurance maxed out over 6 months ago and I pay out of pocket. My pharmacist chaged me from taking two 75x3 and gave me 150mg tablets and saved me close to 250+dolars that way. For 90 tabs at 150mg it cost me 170$. I feel this is a worth it. the va said they could give me the neurtin for free,but it has weight gain memory loss and almost makes me sleepy all day. Thats why I chose lyrica its worth it.
