I am so frustrated!! I have been on Lyrica for a month. My Dr has increased my dose. I was on 300mg a day. I couldn't take that much as I was dizzy, couldn't concentrate, and exhausted. So I went down to 200 mg per day, one dose in the a.m., and one in the p.m. I feel terrible, and have for most of the month. I have not seem any improvement. I think that if I could tolerate the higher doses of Lyrica I would see some pain relief. When I was taking 300mg per day, I did have SOME relief, but as I said earlier I can't tolerate the higher doses. So I have called in to the Dr. she is not in today, but the nurse said that she saw in the notes that the Dr will probably prescribe an analgesic for pain--what is an analgesic? I currently take enough Tylenol, Advil, and Aleve to kill a horse! So I hope that is not what they are going to suggest. I told the nurse that I am taking all of the tylenol ect. I am frustrated about feeling so crappy, trying to take care of 4 kids. On top of all this we are leaving for vacation on Thursday. I don't even want to go, at least at home you have your own bed, and can rest in the recliner ect. Sorry this is so long, but I am really frustrated, and I think a little depressed about all of this. What to do?  |
