Lyrica? for depression and anxiety and nerve pain?
 

Mdoc gave me Lyrica for nerve pain. She said I could take it instead of Gabapentin --- not to take them both at the same time.

I don't have a script. She gave me a "coupon" that I have to fill out that allows me to get Lyrica for cheap for one year.

Gabapentin is at too a low a dose to help with nerve pain. It IS helping with anxiety and depression. I do not know if Lyrica helps with depression.

One of the things that helped in our family, just not covered script, no approval.
Feel better, :grouphug:

I pray that every person on here in pain would find the right med and get relief. :Heart:

Dear Di,

I do not expect my insurance to pay either but mdoc says to try to get the coupon filled (it is a whole hassle).

''Sorry to hear that family members suffer.

Dear Bizi and Butterfly,

Thank you. I do not know what is going on. I did sort of agree to see the mdoc more often --- I go a long time between visits. She wants to help me so that is good.

That is great Mari! :Heart:

Not to discourage you from trying the lyrica if you can get the prescription
for lower price.


But I couldn't take it I had problems trying to switch from Gabapentin to
it. And had to go back.


It wasn't anything really big, mainly dizziness, and lightheadness, and just
not feeling like me. Some other things but hard to explain.

Thank you, Donna,

That is helpful. Right now I am trying to raise the Gabapentin to 600 mgs before I switch to Lyrica.

Mari,

Lyrica helped me A LOT. But, made me depressive.... :rolleyes:

Let us know how you feel.
