"i was on lyrica for several years to manage chronic referral pain in my foot from several back surgeries.  lyrica efficacy was wearing off and i was fortunate enough to change pain doctors, with the new doctor putting me on 30mg of amitriptyline.  i&#039;ve been on it for about 5 weeks now and my pain level has come down substantially....i&#039;m now sleeping much better and it&#039;s cheap compared to lyrica too.  only 5 weeks, but i&#039;m loving amitriptyline."
