RE: [TMIC] Question re: Lyrica
Yes, you are right, there are some good hearted people - example: I was hobbling with my cane into a diner a while back, in the teeming rain. One such person stood in the pouring rain, holding the door until I got there and got in. And this is in New York!

Re: [TMIC] Question re: Lyrica
Natalie, So far the Lyrica is working ok. I had to back off on the dosage to 2 - 75mg a day. I still deal with a little of the burning sensations, but I think that I might have rushed into the full dosage and could probably up the dosage to 150mg twice a day now. Anyone else have this problem?

I hate my spasms, but cannot find anything, that I can take all of the time. Neurontin works for me, but when I take it I have no brain. And, I have problems with other drugs or doctor will not prescribe or on an on. Would be nice to find something that would work and still permit me to function, mentally.

Dear Natalie, The only side effect I have found is that it somewhat weakens my legs. However this effect is small compared to the benefit it gives me.

Re: [TMIC] Question re: Lyrica
I take 200 mg lyrica 3 times a day. I was taking 1200 mg 3 times a day. I am maxed out on spasm meds. 30mg baclofen 3x, zanaflex 3x and valium and can't go up anymore. I am paraylyzed from the waist down and now recovering from a flap surgery to close a pressure sore so I hope that when it heals my spasms get better and I can go down on meds. I don't have feeling except for the nerve pain so it affects me differently.

Re: [TMIC] Question re: Lyrica
Title: AOL Email Hi Michelle, I began taking Lyrica and within a very short period of time, like an hour or so, I began getting so hot I thought I would burn up! I wasn't sure what the cause of it was, and it took a good hour to go away. I haven't taken Lyrica since and have not experienced the problem since. Yours is the first other experience like mine I have heard. I believe my being on fire was a direct result of the Lyrica and do not intend to take it again because of it. Let me know what your husband intends to do, and if he continues taking the Lyrica, let me know what the results are. Greatly appreciated, Jude, in Michigan
