lyrica-----let me tell u what, my experience is Lyrica, is not a good drug for me!!!!! I guess it was about 3 wks ago i went back on lyrica, because, i just want to take whatever will or is supposed to help me. I took it b-4 and found that my legs and feet,arms and face were swelling and we werent sure if it might have been a side affect for me or what, that was the only new drug that i had started. So we took it away. But, we took it away and the swelling stayed and stayed and stayed. Of course we knew by this time that the lyrica had little to nothing to do with the swelling at all. I had been put back on gaba(neurotin)again because i could not go without one or the other. So, because it was not the lyrica, i could go back on it whenever i was ready to. I was finally ready 3 wks ago, i would say from the 2nd day of taking lyrica i became lathargic, very very air brained, kindof like, fibro fog, (which is what i thought it was) i figured that maybe what i thought was fibro fog really wasnt fibro fog and that i was sadly mistaken. Well, on my way home the other day i was coming up to a red light, i had my foot on the brake pedal, and for a split second my eyes must have shut cause when i came to ,(yes, when I came to) i was starting to go right on thru that dam red light, so i put on the brakes alot harder, and looked to my right, and there was a whole family hollaring at me in whatever language they spoke, because my tires must have squealed and scared the little child. They were just fixing to cross the street. In all of a second i could have lost all of the privleges that i worked so hard to keep, that we (most of us) take for granted everyday, this is what i was thinking omg i could have just hurt someone, thank God that i didnt, but omg i was shaking like a shaking machine. That scared the u know what out of me. I guess that was Monday and on Wednesday I had an appt to go to my rheumotoligist i would tell my dr. what happened. He immediatly took me off the lyrica and we need to wait a few days and then im going back on the gaba,(neurotin)but he wanted to wait a few days just to make sure the feeling i was getting was gone, we will see i guess, it hasnt been 24hrs yet, but im still getting the feeling in my head again, I,m hoping that feeling goes away very quickly, I cant take that feeling it's terrible. The faster is goes the better I will be. So ladies, i dont think(or i know for sure) this is one fibromyalgia patient that will not under any circumstances will i be taking that new drug. Thank you for listening. Have a great day. ***If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.*** {{GENTLE HUGS}}. |
