I absolutely hate hate hate hate to admit that this hideous drug of ill repute is the only drug that actually gives me a semblance of normalcy in my surgically ripped up feet. The tramadol, even oxycodone, don't do what that white pill does for me. When I try to taper off the Lyrica, my feet begin burning and aching and feeling just flat out crappy. My PN hasn't moved. It stays in my toes. I have no problem sleeping. But...to wake up to that numbness, burning and aching is so depressing. Sleep is so nice....I'm pain free. I used to be so athletic. I ran marathons....at 6'4"! Played hockey with my kids...downhill skiing. 16 Years at Lifetime Fitness. Now....fat...out of shape....but a wife that loves me...and two wonderful adult children. I guess it's okay.
