I figured it out Cheryl! I talked to the pharmacist last night. It was more than likely the Singular making him sleepy and dizzy during the day and the Sinemet keeping him awake at night. We switched the Singular to night time and the Sinemet to morning and 5pm. He's back!! For now. lol
Glad your cold is getting better! Maybe once it goes away you will feel better ms wise. Sorry you can't take the Lyrica during the day but understand big time after watching Jim sleep the entire day yesterday. He left me alone with the MIL!!!!!!! I almost left him there. lol

Still very stuffed up but I feel better, not so achy. My legs are still very weak and I can't walk very far. Stiff and feel bruised but my body isn't all achy like I was earlier in the week. I hope Jim gets better and gets some sleep.

I am once again in the 1% category with this drug. Gee what a surprise.
 Last night was a wild ride with Lyrica...not sure I want to continue it. Or maybe I can get the pharmacist to give me the 25mg capsules in exchange for the 50mg capsules and see if that will help. And my doc wants me to take this drug 3 times a day! I think not...I just read the entire medication insert for this drug and the clinical trial information. Max dose is 300mg a day. Two of the "infrequent" (1/100 to 1/1000) side effects in all the clinical studies for lyrica (pregabalin) are abnormal dreams and hallucinations. Well...as I said, wild night last night. Reminded me of the first time I had IVSM and they infused the 1000mg over 30 minutes. I hallucinated for 12 hours! When the nurse showed up the next day for infusion number 2, I was scared to death. I thought maybe not walking and not peeing was much better than hallucinating. She slowed the infusion down to 1.5 hours and I didn't have that problem again. I don't like having people walk through my bedroom and touch me and stand over me. It was too spooky. I woke up twice screaming and even checked to make sure the doors to the house were locked. It was so real I swear I could feel someone take the covers off me and I could feel them when I reached out to push them away.
