[TMIC] Cymbalta Lyrica

I mentioned last week that I went to a new Neuro in New Jersey and he recommended that I stop Cymbalta (cold turkey) wait a couple of weeks and start on Neurontin. His reason was that I am already on Lyrica and Cymbalta does the same thing so I was just supposedly doubling up. Anyway it has been a

[TMIC] a lot of discussions going on

Great discussions going on: LYRICA I took 1800mg Neuronton, then 2400mg, then switched to Lyrica because the neurontin took too long to work and stopped before my next dose. The Lyrica works faster and steadier at 100mg / every 8 hrs. My Neuro suggested this switch when I complained of the

[TMIC] Lyrica, Cymbalta AND Baclofen

Rob I think I was typing my last post wile you were sending yours. I take Lyrica and Cymbalta and must also take Baclofen for the banding and muscle spasms. Lyrica and Cymbalta decrease the neuro pain, but he Baclofen is the first thing I reach for when I've over exerted and my mucles are

Re: [TMIC]I tried Marinol too

My doctor tried me on Cesamet. However, he told me it would make me tired and also I could feel like I was 'drunk'. Well, I only took one pill. At night. I went to bed, woke up to go to the bathroom, was sooo tired that I could barely make it out of bed, literally 'staggered' down the

Re: [TMIC] Neurontin

NeurontinJanet, How did your son make out at the doctors? Are they going to be putting him on some meds to help with his pain? This has to be just so hard for him. Heather in Calgary - Original Message - From: Janet Dunn To: 'Robert Pall' ; tmic-l...@eskimo.net Sent:

Re: [TMIC] Cymbalta Lyrica

Thanks, Rob. I know Cymbalta also helps with the pain but I feel 'dull' when I take it, meaning I feel like I'm dragging and no energy. They now have a generic which helps with the cost but haven't heard anything about how it works compared to the name brand. I use the Lyrica and Tramadol

RE: [TMIC] Neurontin

Hi Heather Thanks for asking. I just don't know what to think. After raising the TM alarm bells (significantly), the neurologist sent a letter to the family doctor, stating that the problem is organic in nature. That the pain is coming from the brain itself, and not from the spinal cord

Re: [TMIC] Cymbalta Lyrica

Jeanne I asked my doctor about a generic for Cymbalta because AARP sent me a letter suggesting I try a generic to help cut my copay costs. I don't have the name they suggested in front of me, but my doctor said it was the generic for Effexor and it wouldn't give me any relief with the neuro

[TMIC] Thanks to Obama

You had mentioned in the past that you could only use Sativex while in Canada, and you could not take it across the border back into the U.S.Has that now changed? Yes with the relaxation of Medical Cannabis federal actions, and also many states decriminalizing or at least thinking about
