Hi Atara and welcome to the group! I am still on Neurontin, which is the "old" version of Lyrica basically. My neurologist didn't want to switch me to Lyrica and neurontin works for me sooo... Give it time to get in your system. Hopefully your body is not med resistant. As far as fatigue, I do not know a med out there that can help for that, in fact I just saw my psychiatrist yesturday so she could evaluate my anti-depressants and she took me off Lunesta and just raised my elavil at night to 20 mg. She said there was no reason to be on both, whisch I agreed. The less meds I have to take the better. She told me that there isnt any medication you can take for fatigue. Try as hard as it may seem to stay on the same sleep schedule of 8 hours of sleep each night. Go to bed at the same time and get up at the time every day even on the weekends she said. And NO TV, while trying to go to bed. No distractions. No caffeine 2 hours before bed and no food either. Im gonna try it anyway and see if it helps. She also said to drink lots and lots of water. Lay off soda and tea and coffee, anything with lots of sugar. Energy drinks are very bad for you because they give u a boost of energy and then they bring you way down and you crash. When the world says give up, hope whispers give it one more try... unknown
