I have been taking neurontin for years. To begin with I had some pretty weird side effects. Sleepiness was the biggest side effect. I tried to change to Lyrica a few months ago and the side effects were so severe I stopped the second day. I was very dizzy and disoriented. I was told they would subside over time, but I couldn't do it. It was too weird for me.

If the side effects are tolerable, she may overcome them in a week or so. If it is more than she can tolerate, she should try some of the others available.
