Just wanted to share that, I know some of you are having trouble with tolerance issues with Lyrica and Gabby, as I was experiencing also.

My first day of clarity. To scared to let the moment go because P/N has bluffed me in the past. For the first time in many months Im feeling pleasurable sensations along with pain at a 2. Without doubt its due to Nortriptolyne and it must be giving me some antidepressant kick even at 25mg and have reduced lyrica from 300 to 150mg. May I just say I was extremely sensitive to this drug and started at .5mg a day and built up to 25.
I tried Elavil which metabolizes into nortiptolyne in the liver ( googled)
Now the difference in the 2 is quite large. The Elavil knocked me out with its sedative effects. Slept for 14 hours where as the nortyptoline has a very minor effect. They both gave me the same pain relief. I would have preferred elavil for the reasons Mrs D indicates however it was Just to strong.
Hoping to kick lyrica altogether.
