Dennis....I was on the Effexor before I switched to Lyrica. The Effexor
worked pretty good. Whe I first went on the Lyrica I was still on the
Effexor for awhile. Actually it seems the combination of both of them worked
best. Right now I am just on the Lyrica. In all cases I still had the nerve
pain but the Lyrica and/or the Effexor seemed to do the best at reducing the
pain. Better than the nuerontin, marinol, or topamax ...........Cody in

AM Subject: I Tryed Lyrica
My Dr. gave me some samples of Lyrica. I took it one night then the next
morning. That afternoon I took a ride with my "hand-cycle" after I was
done I stopped in for a beer. As I was sitting there, I kept falling
asleep, I got a ride home because I didn't feel safe driving. The bad
part
was that I wasted 2/3 of a can of beer. I don't know if it was the
Lyrica
or if I had a little bug because I was real tired all weekend. I have
tried taking it a few evenings but when I woke up I feel very disordinated
I called my Dr. this morning and she is going to give me Cymbalta. I'll
give it a try this weekend. Has anyone Cymbalta? If that doesn't work
she
said that they have found out that very high doses of Effexor 150 mg plus
per day works good on nueropathic pain even though it is an
anti-depressant. I'll keep you informed.
