I had and the Boston Scientific precision Spectra inplant Nov.23 2013, to help with my pain. The recovery was very painful but, on week 3 even though my unit is only helping part of my pain due to/hopefully tweaking, I have managed to wean myself from 3 -4 percs a day and 2 morphien a day to on most days 1 morphien a day and maybe 1 perc every other day. That part has been easy, however trying to wean off Lyrica again is w/d hell. I prefer to take tramadol for pain but, pharmisist says tram and lyrica are not a good combo. Something about brain damage he said. I was on 240 tram and 120 perc,s a month for about 6 years. Know wonder I have short memory problems. Since then the doc, about 2 years ago took me off tram and subed it with percs and morphine.
I am so glad I had the sergery, but I really need to get off the lyrica, so I can just take tramedol when I need it. This is the worst drug to get off of. |

Is it possible your pharmacist meant there would be an interaction between one or both of those and something else you're taking? If there really is some risk of serious brain damage, I think people on this site (the PN forum in particular, as so many are taking those two) would want to know. Doc
