I too have been on Lyrica for quite a few years....hmmmm.. so that means that you WERE all with me last week at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware! I rarely drink liquor - but weren't those Margaritas fantastic!!! Yup 5 days of just the "ladies" .... eight of us, partying, shopping, sunning!! I am a beer/wine person.....I have weaned myself off of Cymbalta... but not much chance of weaning off Amstel light or Pinot Grigio....!! Not EVERY day (well almost not every day!) but I do enjoy my cold beer and wine! Besides since Feb. 7th 2002 I always walk as if I've had a few!!I definitely need a walker/cane to get around...It's TGIF....watch out for those walls or floors..... been there done that!Blessings!Trudy Sunday I head up to New York for a week of visiting friends and family!! I'm sure I'll see you there too! :)

It now seems that I need to drink alcohol with my lyrica to get rid of my anger. It also looks like I have to time my beer, wine or scotch as well as my lyrica. Well doing this I will have to avoid walls, floors and toilet rings. It will also give me amnesia and send me into lala land so I won’t know I am angry. ROTFLMNAO (rolling on the floor laughing my NUMB ass off) Thank you to those who answered because it has given me a great laugh. I spoke with my doctor and we decided since I was going to be lessening my lyrica gradually that we are hoping the anger will dissipates. I think the anger is more due to the fact that I let myself catch that darn virus which threw me back into a TM bout. I have never been on a anti depressant and I don’t know how I feel about starting one as normally I am able to handle the little bouts of depression I get with my TM. I really am afraid of adding more medication to the mix as since going on lyrica I have been able to get rid of most other medication and just keep a few on hand for break through pain & sensations when I need it. Thank you again all.. sometimes I wonder where I would be if I did not have a life full of laughter.
