My latest Lyrica update...it's working..

January 2, 2008

I've been on Lyrica for about 6 mos. I think and am @ 300mg per day. Drs.orders

where 3x per day but I would take 200mg. @ bedtime and then 100mg sometime in

the afternoon. @ one point my dose was cut from 300mg per day to 150mg per day

by an internal medDr. and @ 150 a day it was useless so I called my PCP and told

her I knew the side affects had passed and that I could indeed handle 300mg per

day. When my dosage was increased I had abou 30 75mg caps left over. My last PCP

visit she gave me only 30 Darvacet (GGRRR) telling to take one a day and that

was all she was going to do for me. As a result naturaly PAIN was the insentive

to

experiment w/more than 300mg per day and I found that I could easley handle

375mg per day so w/out any pain meds I was desperate so I took additional Lyrica

w/some positive results and of course there was the FOG but it was better than

the more intense pain I was in w/out pain meds. So today I have no pain meds

just Robaxin( a guaiphenisin derivitive muscle relaxer). PAIN had ruined my my

Dec. and is almost getting the best of me today as I find it necessary to stay

in bed more. O ah by the way Tramadol still SUX ! ! ! and I want go back to it.

According to Drugs.com Tramadamn shoundn't be given w/SRRIs due to increased

risk of seizures.

AND why don't this *** & ^%***Drs. know this anyhow??? GGRRR!!!!! vent vent

vent!!! LOL!

Meanwhile back @ the camper w/a whole acre to myself I AM doing as much as I

can. I have torn out the

quasi dinning fold down sleeping area of the front of my camper in order to

accomadate an office type chair

or swivaling stool to sit and play my guitars comfortably. This labor has been

back breaking so I've done a little each day as not to WAY over do it. Doing

SOMETHING is important for US all. OK I'm done !

GOD Bless Each & Everyone of YOU ! ! ! . . .

.......................................................... . . . Love
