Lyrica

[Guest guest]

that was me who wrote in about the Lyrica and I am so happy you are having

good results with it! I find that I don't need as much pain medication as I

used to either. I haven't tried omitting my sleeping med, AMBIEN, as yet, but

think I might give it a try.

Oh my, any of those “natural” supps (valerian, passion flower, melatonin)

totally whack me out the next day! I tried everything! Now it’s zoplicone

for me…and too bad there’s no lunesta or ambien CR in Canada yet. Aylwin xox

Was wondering if Ambien mixed with the natural sleep meds - my niece takes

SleepMD and says it works for her and I am on the look out for it here but

was wondering if I could take Ambien if it didn't work enough - sounds like

you mix the both with success

Hi, We can’t get the newer sleep meds here, Lunesta, Ambien CR etc. Only

Imovane, which only lasts 6 hrs (I need 9-10), and habituates…I am on the

max dose without stone-out the next day. I have to finally go to the

neurologist before I can try Neurontin or Gabapentin, though the Rheumy

though I would be a good candidate for one of these. My neuro appt is in

Feb. I’m really glad to hear that you have gotten some effective pain

control. Tc, Aylwin xo

Hi Sandrea, yes I believe this might be true…gonna look into it for sure.

There must be a way! I’ve gotta sleep. Thanks, Aylwin xox

Hi Aylwin,

I know that US folks buy drugs from Canada. Can that work in reverse

too and you buy them in the US and have them sent to you. I'm sure

they'd be expensive though.
