Thank the Lord we are talking about this drug. People need to know.
My pcp wants me on Lyrica because i am also prediabetic..... and they want to use it for that also.... a new nerve pain drug with shotgun use i guess...
My psych doctor eased me up on the Cymbalta to 90 mg and i also take the Lyrica. It helps for me at the higher dosage. I needed a change i had been on effexor for over 4 years when i changed.
Lyrica is the worst med besides tramadol, it is even worse. For me Lyrica has caused so many
side effects.
One was the double whammy it had because i was on MS Contin. Don't take the two at the same time unless you want to be wiped out.
By the time i swallow the Cymbalta, the Lyrica and two focaln pills and the ms contin. wooh.... i fight to stay awake.... this is too much something has to give....
Mostly mine are cognitive. I am an accountant and the Lyrica has caused me to have drug induced ADHA and now i am having to take two additional meds to counter Lyrica's side effects....
It causes me to sit and stare and lose more track of time than anything.....
I am going to ask my doctor to take me off of it
It has caused me months and months of grief and i almost lost my job over it.
THERE YOU HAVE IT, one more person's experience. I CHOOSE THE PAIN OVER THE LYRICA because i have to work, and it does not help me now maybe when i retire and the drug has been around longer it may make more sense to take it then...
Also, if i stop Lyrica lets see that is a copay of $40, plus another $40 for each of the two adhd drugs, gosh i just might be able to get a regular massage and go to excercise class to boot! There is a better way to spend my $ than Lyrica.

"MDJ to me is an added phase in my recovery as a 44 year survivor of a TBI. I hope that with what I have lived through in those years, will be able to help all those who are just now going through. It is important to understand that even after 44 yrs, I am continuing to recover and to evolve. I just hope I can help others." (scotty04901)
