Hi ,

I am on Lyrica and I am supposed to take the Amytriptiline too but if I take

it with the Lyrica I get major fog so had to stop the Amytriptiline. Does it

make you all tired when you take it with the Lyrica?

When I took Lyrica with Amitriptyline both made me very drowsy with

rebound drowsiness the next day.

Hi Ruthie,

I'm on amytriptiline at night, 50 mg, I have really bad brain fog. I'm

thinking I will start the lyrica this coming weekend. My RH said I should stay

on the amytriptiline. A different RH then I'm seeing now prescribed it for pain

and to help sleep. And my neuroligist treats me for restless legs, he said the

amytriptiline will make the restless legs worse. I'm so sick of this never

ending battle of what meds to take. And so angry about being treated with

steriods the last 4 years for something I never had. Okay, it's a rainy, very

foggy day, maybe that's the reason I'm in such a funk.

I'm also right now, caring for my mom w/alzheimers and mom - in - law that was

just released from the hospital last week with a blood clot, she's staying here

so I can give her injections. BIG SIGH!

Any way, do you or anyone take cymbalta along with requip and lyrica?

So confused right now!!!

Hi Ruthie,

I take Amitriptyine 100mg, Lyrica 150mg twice a day, Cymbalta 30mg twice a

day, Klonopin 2 mg once a day and have finally gotten some muscle relaxers

because I’ve been cramping all over.

I know that sounds like a lot, but I’ve had a drastic gastric by-pass which

makes it so that I don’t absorb everything.

I don’t know if I’m dopey in the morning or not (I’m usually dopey), but I

don’t have to get up and try to go to work. I wasn’t able to do that on

anything.

I would try it if I were you.
