Yesterday, I was prescribed Lirica. 50mg at bed time first week, then 3x per day second week with a continous increase until I find a balance that relieves pain but at the same time limits side effects to no side effects. My concern is that I drive an average of 200 miles per day, to and from work. Should I take the week off that I increase the medicine? Also anyone have complications with this medicine mixing with others. I take the following per day in addition to the Lirica:

Cymbalta 90mg
Avapro 50mg
Celebrex 400mg
crestor 20mg

I have a herniated disc (L1) displacing the nerve (S1) which is creating extreme pain. I had a steroid injection two weeks ago and has reduced my pain by half, so some days I have little pain but there are other days that my pain is moderate to heavy, but not nearly as bad as prior to the injection. I can have one more injection but the doc is trying to spread out the time and that is why we are trying the Lirica.
