b/c it will take awhile to get weened off the nuerotonin. You don't want to do what my doctor told me. He told me to stop nuerotonin Cold Turkey & start the Lyrica the same day. I had the worst headache for 5 days. I believe your doctor and/or someone here can tell a good way of weening off the nuerotonin & starting the Lyrica only should take a few weeks. I like Lyrica b/c I would forget my second dose at 3:00 and would remember when I started having pain. With Lyrica, I take 2 doses, morning & evening. And not all the side effects. Good Luck, Todd in CC, TX ( from someone that really likes Lyrica. )

Why do you want to try lyrica? gabapentin workes the same way as lyrica with no side effects. to me and this is my personal opinion the less drugs you take the better it is. >From: robert hennessy >To: >Subject: [TMIC] Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2008 12:31:30 -0400 > >thanks to everyone who replied. let me clarify some of the meds i take. >3600 milligrams of nuerotonin/day, baclofen, zanaflex, fioricet, i also >take coumadin, so asperin is out of question. i also take about 9-10 other >drugs for various things. do you think a switch to lyrica would be worth my >time? b/c it will take awhile to get weened off the nuerotonin. >_________________________________________________________________ >Need to know now?
