Hi I am new to this forum and thread.
I have had peripheral neuropathy for a few years now and it has been getting steadily worst. I had it in my feet and I resisted medication as long as I could but it was getting dangerous driving so my doctor put me on lyrica.. I needed 150mg twice a day to control my symptoms but side effects were not good so I compromised with 125 mg twice a day with some PN symptoms but tolerable. However I then had a COVID vaccine first jab and my PN went crazy…and the PN started in my hands….nothing would stop the pain and it went on like this for 4 weeks…I thought this would be the end. Constantly reading everything on the net I came across the studies of pirenzepine and ED medication Cialis and people posted on reddit experience with both.
I am so over this PN affecting my life every moment of every day it can drive you crazy and if it does t then drugs like lyrica will.
I ordered pirenzepine online via what seemed a dodgy online site via a London bank account and the drugs shipped from Japan. I also ordered 50 x 20mg cialis from an online chemist.
The scientist in me wanted to just try each individually to see what worked but the impatient patient just wanted to fix this ASAP.
I started taking the pirenzepine orally 50mg twice a day . I also started taking cialis 20mg every second day.
After one week my PN symptoms started reducing and I cut my lyrica down to 100 mg twice a day… don’t get me wrong I still get pins and needles but they felt different … no burning or overwhelming sensations anymore.. I stopped the cialis for a day or two as I thought it may have been affecting my hearing but no it was al good.
I am now at the end of week two and I am now on 75 mg of lyrica twice a day. Still taking pirenzepine 50mg twice a day. I have jumped online and bought 4 more boxes.
My PN is not flaring anymore and seems to be slowly getting better . I can feel the accelerator pedal under my foot now so driving is much more comfortable. I figure it will take several months for my nerves to recover. I still have lots of pins and needles but no real pain anymore.
I will keep my progress posted for anyone interested. Sympathies to anyone and everyone suffering with neuropathic pain. I don’t recommend doing what i am doing just letting everyone know my experience.
