Re: Re:LYRICA/DIZZINESS QUESTION

[Guest guest]

Jenna,

Off topic, I couldn't find out how to email you directly so, I went to your

blog, I am a quilter, cross stich, rug hooker also and am I always amazed at

spinners and I can't even imagine dyeing anything. Will you be posting pictures

of your finished work? I'm just so thankful that my RA has not affected my

hands, I will never stop doing handwork.

[ ] Re:LYRICA/DIZZINESS QUESTION

Hi,

I am wondering if your lyrica is all at one time or in

divided doses? I usually react to medicines and am

careful when starting something new..(like taking a

half dose at first to see if I fall on my face)...and

I just started Lyrica recently with no problems..but I

take 50mg three times a day. If you are taking it all

at once ,maybe a divided dose would help with the

dizziness etc. JMHO..jenna

I am taking 150 mgs 2 times a day ....... they gave me capsules that are

150...... so I cannot break them or divide them up right now. I am going to talk

to the rheum doc about it on Friday see what she suggest she might break the

doses up better for me.

Hi !

Did you have any luck getting a script for Provigil

for fatigue? On my other health board for CFS/FMS, I

have noticed there are quite a few taking it. I'm not

sure I can because my panic attacks and anxiety are

pretty severe and I have to avoid any type of

stimulant. I cheated and had a cappachino the other

day for my sore throat and I paid the price later:)

They seem to have pretty good results on it from the

few I have talked to that are taking it. I hate the

chronic fatigue the most too!

Hi Amber!

My doctors usually start me out on the lower dosages

of medication, and gradually increase it. When I was

able to take Cymbalta, we started out on the very

lowest dose for a week, the next week upped it, then

upped it again a week later until I was taking the

maximum dose. It helps to decrease the side effects

some. I have had the problem of when I am taking a

medication and it is doubled or bumped up to the

maximum dose, I do get dizzy, tired, nauseated for a

week or so, and then I adjust. It's good to talk to

your doctor though! One time I was able to take

dramamine with the medication that was causing

dizziness (as needed) until I adjusted to the

increased dose. I hope you find relief soon:)
