I take 200 mg lyrica 3 times a day. I was taking 1200 mg 3 times a
day. I am maxed out on spasm meds. 30mg baclofen 3x, zanaflex 3x and
valium and can't go up anymore. I am paraylyzed from the waist down and
now recovering from a flap surgery to close a pressure sore so I hope that when
it heals my spasms get better and I can go down on meds. I don't have
feeling except for the nerve pain so it affects me differently. I did have
those dreaded headaches when I came off the neurontin but look at the amount I
was taking..lol

How much Lyrica
do you take? It has helped with the pain but my legs seem to feel almost
wooden like.
My TM left me
using a walker to get around and crazy legs for the most part. Tightness,
banding and numbness. Why did you switch from Neurontin to Lyrica. I was
having memory problems and so my new neuro thought lyrica would be better for
me?? I am on Baclophen. Also just starting out with it. I am supposed to getup
to 10mg three times a day. Lyrica 75mg. twice a day and Neurontin 300mg. 3
times a day till I can get off it completely.

I wonder if it is
interacting with any of your meds. The reason I say that is because I
also belong to the quad list and a lot of them also switched to lyrica.
The majority of them haven't had any complaints. I'm not a doctor or
anything just making an observation.

Question re: Lyrica
I started Lyrica
a few weeks ago. I have had at times broken out into a
sweat.. Especially
my forehead.... but I thought it was just more hot
flashes that still
want to ruin my day! I am in the process of weaning
off Neurontin and
onto Lyrica. I take two 75mg. a day of Lyrica and am down
to 1200mg.
Neurontin..

[TMIC] Question re: Lyrica
Although I post very rarely, I do read the
posts as I find the information
that all of you provide to be
invaluable.
My husband started taking Lyrica on Friday and, so far,
it seems to be doing
a lot for the pain. He's had a strange symptom
for the past couple of days
and we don't know if it's related to the
Lyrica or if it's something
else...........his head is incredibly
hot. The rest of his body is fine but
his head just won't cool
down. Has anyone else experienced anything like
this?
Thanks
in advance for your input,
Michelle in Atlanta,
