Update: The neruologist upped my dosage of Trilpetal, and it now seems to be helping--fewer incidences of pain.

Nobody is willing to prescibe me Lyrica. Even my primary-care doctor. She seems to think that it could interfere with the Trileptal, and she wants me to try that longer. I see my neurologist again in about a month.

My friend with the fibro is still singing the praises of Lyrica. She says, as far as she is now concerned, weight gain won't deter her.

BTW, I'm also seeing a PT, and she is using some sort of laser along my trigeminal nerve. Maybe that is helping, too?
