I have fibromyalgia, bipolar disorder with anxiety, degenerative disk disease, sciatica, arthritis, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. For those, I take Lyrica, Lamictal, Celexa, Trazadone, Klonopin, Procardia XL, Univasc, Potassium, and Hydrodiuril. I just started on the Lyrica a few days ago and notice only slight relief. Hopefully, it will become more effective. Except for the sciatica and disk disease, everything is controlled well by my meds. However, the pain from the sciatica and fibro is debilitating at times. Do you have any tips for pain control/management? I've read a lot of stuff but never communicated with anyone about it. Does the depo-medrol help? I had one trigger point injection that helped for a week. Should I ask my doctor to give my the bi-weekly ones that you take? I am in agony. Thanks for any info.

If you tell the doc that they only last for a week....then she/he should be able to help you. I think that steroids can only be given every 2 weeks though. Something about brittle bones.
I tell you if I didn't go every 2 weeks I would be a hurting soldier.
