Hi Lynn, my dear
friend...
When I first switched to Lyrica it took me about three times
before I was able to make it through the whole regime of titering off of
the Neurontin while getting onto the Lyrica. The pain was bad, real
bad at times and all I could do was to take enough pain pills to knock
myself out and slept for a week or so.
Now, after almost a month, I am glad that I stuck with it
because I feel ever so much better. Most of the banding sensation
that caused the majority of my pain is gone, or so much more relaxed, that
I barely notice it. The burning pain is gone unless I push myself
during rehab. Then it comes back with a vengeance, but only for a
minute or so.
Now, I am happy to be on Lyrica and know that you will be
too, if you can only find a way to get through the adjustment period of
only a few days. (Although at the time, it feels like it is going to last
forever!)
Good Luck, keep on trying and know that I am with you in
heart...
