Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 I am a 51 year old with Fibro had it almost 4 years before my PCP agreed with my other 3 Dr's I had it. A endocrinologist,GYN,Cardiologist. next to fibro I have Neurofibromatosis, survivor of 2 heart attacks, Hashi's. with 3/4 of my thyroid removed in July 06 and on same amount of medicine for it since then. But I take elavil at night to sleep 25 milligrams sometimes it makes me sleep sometimes it doesn't.I take 600 milligrams of Gabby I call it at night nd one during the day if I need it. along with my Liptor. I have fallen three times this month twice in the house once outside.My Dr won't switch me from Gabapentin to Lyrica till i see the Pain Management Dr.Been Approved in oct but takes 3-6 months to get in. But does Lyrica work better than Gabby.I am afraid I will gain weight for they want me at 130-135 not over 135. then with my prior two heart attacks.My cardiologist thinks Gabapentin (Gabby) is just fine for me.But just wondering how many more of you have heart disease or a survivor of a heart attack and are on Lyrica? Thanks and Happy 2008 Gentle Hugs Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
