I have neuropathy of my lower legs which causes different types of pain. These include aching, deep bone itching in my feet and a general sense of anxiety. I take 150 mg of Lyrica twice daily and that helps a lot, but not entirely. I have been taking Vicodin 5/500 for several years and it is a miracle drug. I currently take three a day and that seems to make life bearable. I do not know whether I am addicted, but I have no desire to increase the dose nor do I drink. I suspect I will be on Vicodin for the rest of my life. I am 79. Should I try to use some other pain killer?
