I've been taking Lyrica for about 3 years now. I'm up to 200MG (one in the morning, and one at bedtime). I also take 90MG Cymbalta and 100MG Celebrex in the morning.

I've tried to stop taking my medicines and usually the hubby or kids notice it right away. I have days when I understand and believe the meds help some, but then other days when I get super tired of "relying" on meds to make my miserable days a bit less miserable.

I have read recently that while on the meds I am on, that the doctors really should be monitoring my levels periodically. I am going to start a list of questions/demands for my doctors, as I feel right now they just want me taking the meds, having the "recommended" surgeries/blocks. I am suppose to start P.T. again, but this time they are sending me to a therapist that specializes in RSD treatment and de-sensitivity. He mentioned a hot wax therapy as well.
