Fibromyalgia Support Group

thanks I'll read up on it

you are very welcome i always look my meds up in my book so i know every thingi need to .

I still have not been able to find a caution between caffiene and Lyrica. I have not however had the chance to get your particular book. I did go on a site called Drugs.com that has an area to check for interactions and caffiene did not comeup. I'm still searching though

both my dr and pharmacy have toldmenot to take caffeine with it,so i follow my drs orders

I just started taking Lyrica about a month ago. I have had awful leg and hip pain for about 3 weeks now and am wondering if the two could be connected?? I have never had leg pain like this pain before and didn't know if it was just another part of fibro or if it had something to do with the medicine.

Lauren, Not with me, Lyrica got rid of my leg pain. I had horrible leg pain before taking in and within a week of taking it my leg pain went away. Never know though every med seems to work differently on different people. I would think that if it was the Lyrica it would have showed up before now. Hope you feel better soon.

I have to say that my back and leg pain did improve. However I had alot of trouble with my feet just about the second to third week. At first I started getting back feeling I didn't realize I lost. then they started hurting real bad because I could feel it all of a sudden but after about a week and a half it settled down and now it doesn't hurt and I still have feeling. So maybe it's like that for you. Your feeling something that you had lost and hopefully it will settle back down. OK does that make any sense. I encourage you to hang in there with the Lyrica. If the pain gets too bad discuss it with your Dr. Good luck

Lyrica works good for my leg and feet pain,before my leg and feethurt alot,before i went with lyrica one of the other support sites i have about 7 different fibro support groups i belong to,will they said to put a bar of soap at the end of your bed,actuallyend of sheet that helps also,i couldn't believe it..

I have been taking Lyrica for about 2 months now and it works for my nerve pain, but not any other type of pain. I have to take my regular pain medication prescribed by my Pain Management doctor and if I take both at the same time, I feel lightheaded. Because of the drowsy side effects, I take 150 mg in the a.m. and 300 at night.

I was having nerve pain that was like bolts of lightning hitting my sacrum, causing panic disorder and that has stopped since taking Lyrica.

Hi. The Lyrica helped my nerve pain in my sacrum area, and some in my spine - nerve pain only.

It makes me really drowsy and when taken with my MS-Contin, I feel lightheaded. I have been taking it almost 2 months now and it's okay. I'm not having panic attacks anymore because the Lyrica has stopped the lightning bolts from hitting my sacrum.
