As I understand they are both same class of drug
I was on pregabaine 50mg in the evening Was extremely effective, in a week made me almost pain free Unfortunately it made my body twitch, my toes in my feet had a life on their own and I could see fasciculations clearly under the skin Called the neurologist, said to stop lyrica and everything went back to normal I'm happy as it was freaking me out, but pain is back He suggested I can try small dose (150mg) of gabapentin before sleep Lyrica was working so well so I'd like to try, but I don't know if this makes sense, all weird side effects just make me anxious, so I don't want any of them My intuition tells me it can be the same Neuro said it's first time somebody reports something like this to him after lyrica...seems like he doesn't know much about it, as it's stated clearly by Pfizer Just tried cannabis yesterday (I've been a smoker for years, so there is nothing new to this substance, but I'm not looking for high now, but the pain relief), doesn't seem to have any effect on the pain, just gets me high and helps me sleep, but that's not what I'm looking for as a relief Lyrica was taking the pain away, that's what I'm looking for... After reading horror stories on cymbalta withdraws and suffering weird stuff from really small dose of lyrica I don't think I'll like to jump on that boat either I really need something that works to get my life back Really really confused |
