Not so much taking it correctly as taking it regularly.

I don't take it but hit and miss. If I happen to remember it I take it.

Which might be once a month. Which isn't helpful.

Now I'm on a combination of low dose prednisone, Trileptal and Lyrica and that works pretty well for me although at times of stress, I can feel my elbow trigger points getting pretty painful. I'm taking these drugs for PN, though.

Oh, and I'm on Flexiryl at bedtime and Vicodin as needed for this, too. The combination or all these things works well for me.

How has Trileptal worked for you. I have pain from a neck dissection and i take Lyrica and wondered if lyrica could be successfully used with Trileptal-worried about Trileptal side effects as well?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I take gabapentin, cymbalta and zanaflex for my pain. I also take
magnesium because I needed some more help. I also take other
things.

I take 10/500 of hydroceideine.

Until I went off the Cymbalta, I hadn't realized just how much it was helping with the fibro. However, as an antidepressant, I thought it sucked. So, I ultimately quit it for that reason.

I agree that Cymbalta was not a good anti-depressant...I am on Pristiq which is helping as much as a drug can, lol! I am thinking about trying Lyrica again...it did not work for my RSD/CRPS but now been rx'd with fibro...don't know what to do....
