Hi ~ I'm on Lyrica now, in addition to Opana, and I'm not sure which one is doing it, --- I'm pretty sure it's the Lyrica cause I started that 2nd, but it does make me a little "loopy" and i've been on it quite awhile. It hasn't gone away yet, so it looks like it's not gonna. The problem is, the loopiness doesn't start until after I've taken the pill & 4 hours later. In other words, I take my pill and 4-5 hours later I feel loopy. I guess it must be extended release or something. ??? So i can't take it if I'm going to be driving that day.

But combined with the Opana, it takes my pain away almost 100% until the next dose is due. If I wait too long until my next dose, I'm so crippled I can't even WALK! So this stuff is powerful!

Best of luck & take care. Hugs, Lee
