Re: Need Answers Can't Sleep

[Guest guest]

Holly,

I'm not having any issues sleeping at night with the Lyrica. It

doesn't seem to make me drowsy during the daytime, but at night,

within about 20 minutes of taking it, I'm " gone " ......unless

breakthrough pain wakes me up!

I think stopping the trazadone (whether on purpose or because you are

out) is causing the sleeplessness, especially since you do take

Ambien (which I used to take before being dx'd with OSA).

Best of luck to you; I know when we all can get a good 6-8 hrs of

rested sleep, it helps us fight this monster a little easier!

My guess too is stopping trazadone is also causing your sleepless nights. About

a month ago I stopped paxil, amitriptiline and didn't sleep for 2 weeks. Two

weeks ago I started lyrica and I'm slowly starting to get more sleep. Hope this

helps, Judy in Wi

I had trouble sleeping while on Lyrica, even when I took my Trazodone

and Tizanidine. I am not taking Lyrica, since it caused much weight

gain and not much pain relief from it. Have felt better since on

Cymbalta and Celexa. I still don't sleep well at night. Constant

hurt. Dr. thinks I have sleep apnea. Had two sleep studies. I don't

feel any different with the mask than with out.
