Word, Dakota.

I am on the Lyrica at a low dose for about 3 months 2x a day and the pain is greatly controlled...don't usually get pain until my day is winding down...7 PM. Sometimes it's not enough on the pain/disruption of life scale for me to take anything but about 60% of the time I take 1 5-500 Vicodin and it does the job. Now, my Dr has indicated that she'd like me off of the narcotics but I don't get any euphoria from this dose, I don't have a dependence on it...I've gone 3+ days without taking one. So why should I switch to, say, tramadol? It's just something new in my regimen that may or may not be fitted in easily...Why upset the apple cart, if you will? I feel like I've had to try so many different things over the past two years that I've been seeking treatment that now that I'm almost on a level plane, I'd like to try and enjoy my life for awhile...keep things status quo..
