AOL EmailJudy, I had a psychiatric testing – filling out a 4-page form – before
they put in my nerve implant. I think they want to be sure you are doing
this for all the right reasons and not just to
get attention, etc. Anyway, don’t worry about it – you will do fine.

Subject: [TMIC] Re: Lyrica, Psychiatric Evaluations
Hello Everyone,
As you know I am having the Medtronic pain pump put in. I went for my
first consultation yesterday. Before they put in the pump I have to have a
psychiatric consultation to see if I'm going to be a good candidate.
I'm sure it's been a long time, but has anyone had a psychiatric
consultation before. I need to know what to expect. I don't know why but I'm
kind of nervous about it. I have my heart set on having this surgery because
if I don't then I will have to have my leg amputated. There are no other Dr.s
who want to continue with oral medication.
I also have to go on Lyrica instead of Oxycodone. Has anyone taken
Lyrica for pain, not depression?
I appreciate your answers and look forward to reading them,
Thanks, I love you,
Jude, Michigan
