Debbie.... Iam going to a Lymphnema Clinic on Tuesday for the swelling. I am trying to get off the Lyrica and back on hte Effexor. I did better witht he Effexor. I think the Lyrica is affecting my breathing as well. Have you noticed any breating problems?............Cody ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 10:27 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] TM Question

I was taking 150mg 2XD and I am now up to 300mg 2XD. It still does not completely control the pain. Today I asked my neurologist about switching back to the Effexor. He agreed to switch me back. I had taken Effexor before after Lenora from the TMIC list said it had helped her. I switched to the Lyrica when it first came out hoping it would be the answer. I think all in all the Effexor worked better. I would be interested in hearing about others experience with Lyrica and Effexor....Cody in Austin ----- Original Message ----- From: Todd Tarno To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Monday, November 27, 2006 4:03 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] TM Question Yes this is part of TM. I use Lyrica twice a day and Nortriptyline once at night time. It doesn't stop it completely, but it does help a lot. I never got to go to a pain clinic where they could really know what medications to give me. That would be a great place to start.

I am now walking on a walker and semi on a heme cane. However, I get these strange sensations from the nerves in my legs and when I am laying down a burning sensation in my thighs that really hurts. Have any of you experienced this and is this medication for it? Hi Cody, I also have had extreme leg swelling with Lyrica. I was on Nuerontin initially and then switched to Lyrica. I think the Lyrica helps, but the swelling is awful! Debbie in Atlanta
