Hi Cindy,   What an ordeal to go through - 3 attacks in 3 years. Goodness. I'm so glad you're on Imuran  - it's a great immunosuppressant drug that is supposed to help us so that we don't have another attack!  It is awesome that you have gone so long *attack free*   Hugs to you Linda in Bothell, W

Hi Patti,   I started out on 50mg capsules. (samples my neuro gave me) When I called for a prescription, they asked me if I wanted the 50mg, 75mg or 100mg. I chose the 75mg - but you can go up to 100mg which is nice - since we're all different with our pain levels.   Be sure to start out slow - my

Hi Sally,   I'm sorry to hear that Lyrica caused weight gain with your husband. I have not had ANY side effects with this drug, and I am now at maximum dose, after gradually working myself up to it. I know a lot of people said neurontin caused weight gain also.  I did not have that side effect wit

This sounds like something that I would like to try.   The neruontin in combination with the Tegretol, knocks me right out.  I've been lucky in that the neurontin has gotten rid of that infernal burning, but I can't be snoozing for 16 hours a day.  I'm going to mention this to my neuro.   Gr

Hi All,   Saw my neurologist last week and he gave me a sample bottle of the new drug LYRICA. He started me out on one at night for 3 days, then one in the a.m. and p.m. for 3 days, then one three times a day - still taking the neurontin. Then I go back the middle of Nov to let him know how it's w
