Experiences with

Lyrica

I took a 75mg of Lyrica & 2 Naproxin with 2 paracetamol I sat on my reclyner chair withbmy legs up & a nice cold glass of water. I fekt very tired but could'nt fall into a sleep. I decided to get into bed in the hope that I would sleep there but no.

I am trying Magnesium again, find it good for pain and stiffness but it keeps me awake, have read the spray is good, so am going to give that a go, on Lyrica from GP have tried others but the weight gain is getting to me more than the pain, I'm a store manager not sure how long I can keep it up.

I take my Lyrica and gives me a bit of pick up but this is not pain its just uncomfortable. the neck spasms are not nice at all (mentioned before) Dr will not updose Diazepam as can be addictive!

So fed up Dr said safe to go up again. I seem to be needing more!! Since last wk . Now on 200mg a day but just feel rough. It is a great for me only since my neck went last Friday I feeling rougher :-( x

Even the lyrica is not helping so much anymore since last wk. But ya know what everybody its hot and beautiful and i shall keep my Cement smile on longer as it could rain tomoro :-/ so shall smile and be fakingly happy for everyone ..

I know things are happening because i never was like this before but i say to the Dr and nothing is being done apart from what i am doing now with Lyrica and pain relief meds as much as they sent me to Rheumo, pain management, Neurologists and neuro surgeon,.. is this just a part of it does it stay stable

I was hospitalised for 7 weeks and given diazepam and lyrica. Which i still take. I have been ok but not a day goes by where i don't think about my anxiety. On One of my better days i booked a flight home and now on wednesday i have to get on that plane. I want to get on that plane.

Anyone else on roughly same? Am falling asleep doing this asshhhh Its hard wrk wen wrking bioiiiihoo

I take Pregabilin (Lyrica) 75mg, twice a day and Fluoxitine 20mg once a day for the Hemiplegic migraines but these do nothing for the pain.

different this time so Has anyones neck gone on them where they felt weakness and nauseaus and headache as i not sure really its a combination of time of month as i have felt really rough too with burning and stinging and as if been stuck in stuffy room and no air you can breath properly (sniff up) My lyrica

For quite a bit had facial and jaw burning ( horrible) But can cope as Dr's let me up my lyrica, but why when eating my tongue feels like sore and sandpaper! My thumbs have got sore too to bleeding Do no t have a cluuuue.

OR i can continue to believe nothing will make me better and live on lyrica and pain killers all my life through stubborness and not wanting to atleast give a chance to all experts that have passed me around.

I saw Dr Haag who was very nice and listened alot to what I had to say, being changed from gaba to Lyrica, intensive physio and accupuncture, next step morphine he thinks, been told the pain wont get much better only sort of mangable, alot of pain from break at t4

I'm going to start weaning out lyrica so next week when at the dr I can discuss and start new treatment Anyone has tried Cymbalta or gained weight with lyrica? Any other suggestions? Help please.....

I hav to say lyrica is a great help even if burns my intelligence and makes me heavy its better than feeling like i had an ice cream on that sensitive tooth but this is diff parts and had facial probs last year coming and going trying to brush teeth and being a problem!

I can not take lyrica due to the swelling side effects. Sometimes it helps to know that others suffering from the same things take the same kind of meds.

The Rheumy has put me on Pregabalin (lyrica) because ive been having real problems with pain in my feet its like walking on hot coals particularly on first waking. This medication is used for epilepsy but ive been given it for peripheral neuropathic pain.

I have been having alot of trouble with my neurologist in helping me find out what is causing the problem... all they want to do is give me higher dosage of my current medication (on both cymbalta and lyrica highest dosage) or change the pain pills( on baclofen and percocet), so feed up with how they

I have been started on pregabalin (lyrica)and was wondering if anyone else takes this and what side effects they have had as i have had a few unpleasant ones since starting them and was wondering how longh they are likely to continue for as i dont think i can cope with them long term .
