Alternatives to gabapentin include Zonegran and Gabitril. Both are used to treat nerve pain and have less side effects too.

Lyrica has a similar chemical structure to gabapentin and, in some patients, can offer increased pain relief and side effects. If Gabapentin is not working for you, Lyrica may not be the best options, but if it is working for you, Lyrica could work better.
