they're both on my repeat prescription. :)

Hi although I haven't tried lyrica I have just searched through 4 different sites on the Internet for any drug interactions and all four said it was safe to take... If you aren't in urgent need of any paracetamol right now I would ask your local pharmacist tomorrow just to make sure if you are worried at all .... But I see you have already had an answer from someone who takes lyrica saying it is ok for them... I take paracetamol and although I don take lyrica I do take an anti depressant and a muscle relaxant and my GP has just added paracetamol to my repeat prescriptions.

Hope that helps a little

thanks sweetie for taking the time to help, i appreciate it a lot. I`ve been looking after my granddaughter today, 4 yrs old and full of it - hence the headache. 9 and 7 yr olds coming to stay at the w/end, bending my brain to think of sitting down things to do with them - luckily we`re semi-rural so there`s room for them to run and play with my elderly dogs who`d rather stay on the couch, like me!

Thanks again, with love.xxx

Forgot to say if you are ever in and doubt over safety of combining medicines, just give your pharmacy a call - you'll find the number printed on the label they put on your medications

I take Lyrica and find Paracetamol too weak. I take Co-Dydramol - which is a bit like codeine and migraine meds, forget the name, but if you suffer from migraines your doc could help better than I can - however, having been a childminder years ago and expecting my 8 year old grandson tomorrow I have been thinking of a wet weather plan.

Look around your kitchen and see if anything would fit this idea. I am going to tell him he can have 1 egg cup full of something and he can add water, up to a cup full. He must come up with something to make from it. I suggest Salt, Rice, Pasta, Flour, Cornflour [Cornstarch], Food colouring. Salt + Water = saline to clean wounds, to cook food, to make a salt figure, pattern.

Rice + water = food, coloured water, to colour it and make a picture [same with pasta] or jewellry,

Flour + water = dough for unlevened bread/pizza/models/picture

Cornflour + water = hard/soft? experience. Squeeze = hard, release = pours

Then you could see which you can separate from the water! Have fun! End up making lunch?

Soft hugs and hope your head has cleared up.

you sound like me. I suffer migraines and use Zomig; though am getting botox done for them soon through the hospital.

I also have Tramadol for my arthritis and now lyrica for the nerve damage in my hip. feel like a walking pharmacy.

I am struggling with the lyrica though, feel sick, sluggish and headaches. though its only the first week.

Did you find it was ok with your migraines? did it increase them at all? i get them weekly as it is so don't want to increase that.

There are some awesome kids crafts on Pintrest. I love it do lots off of it.

I take 600mg Lyrica and Paracetamol. I have had no problems with it. Hope you feel better soon.

thank you for your reply, i`m going to ask my gp to put my lyrica up soon, i think he`s being cautious which is fine up to a point but....... you know the rest!
