I've had someone at my support group meeting today tell me that if my 50 mg of amitriptyline has cut my pain down to a 0-1 then I am one of the few who has responded (from the group) and that I'm lucky to have it work for me....
I'll ask for lyrica when I see my new pain consultant....

my latest symptom has been tingling and itching, I'm really hoping they are starting to grow back or at least quiet down some more of their buzzing

If the amitriptyline is working (and may possibly help your nerves heal/regenerate), why do you want to take something as potentially problematic as pregabalin?

I have a medication formula in my mind already: 50 mg Ami, 150 mg Lyrica, 1 Tramadol and topical lidocaine, I might be able to have some type of a relationship

I had considerably dulled sexual sensation while on amitriptyline. I believe that was on 50 mg per day. I am a male person. I don't know how common this side effect is. I was much happier in this area when I stopped taking it.

Ok, thanks, that helps. So the amitriptyline is working, but not well enough... Now I get it. Sorry, that wasn't clear before.

Just so you're aware that Lyrica has it's own potential sexual side effects (not to mention the other 75 known potential side effects)...

Does Lyrica oral have side effects?

lyrica sexual side effects

Best Wishes,

Doc
