Hi Jeanne,
Lyrica made me feel sick. Nauseous and like I was going to pass out. I
tried it
as long as I could, hoping the side effects would pass, but I couldn't
take it.
Cymbalta gave me stomach problems, but I might try it one more time.
I'm going
to ask my doctor about it.
Best wis
I tried Cymbalta and didn't tolerate it, same with Lyrica unfortunately.
Xanax keeps my
heart rate normal and never made me sick. I take the smallest possible
dose and quantity per day
usually one or two, though I am allowed more.
All medications are potentially dangerous, even baby aspirin
And most likely if you get the pain to a tolerable level you won't need the anxiety medication. That's some pretty dangerous stuff. Ask your doctor to put you on cymbalta. It's the best thing I've found besides neurontin.

Hi Natalie,
I guess that I am just lucky, as my neuro always asks me if I
am experiencing any pain. So far, the only bad pain that I've experienced,
has been deep bone pain. I don't feel a whole awful lot in my flesh and
muscles, with the exception of the burning and tingling that just seems to
Kevin,
I know it is difficult to not get emotional when speaking of your pain, but I
have found if I don't break down with telling them, then they don't 2nd guess
as if it is something else. Use to in the beginning, they always said "are you
and your husband having difficult times?"
Best idea is seeing a new neurologist. Zanax (for anxiety and nervousness) and
81mg aspirin? That's it! I'm no doctor, but sounds like you're not taking
anything for pain.
Good luck and let us know what the new neuro. has to say.

oops, the subject of my last post should have been 'pain',
but a lot of my messages have been bouncing back.
Anyone else?
