Dalton; I think the back injury is probably more accountable for many of your
symptoms than TM. Or maybe TM was a symptom of the back injury. Norco has
reduced acetaminophen in it with hydrocodone, but there is still a little bit.
lyrica didn't do anything for me. Neurontin or gaberpentin (sic) is
predecessor or pregabulin Lyrica. And, there are a lot of people out there who
develop nasty side effects with the stuff. I definitely doesn't work for
everyone. But, the broken back fits into the category of what used to be
called Causalgia or now reflex sympathetic dystrophy. And, that's a whole
other animal.

I am truly thankful that we have a variety of things to work with.
just read where possibly next year we will have hydrocodone without
acetaminophen in it. it will have more hydrocodone but without the liver damage.

John;
Your point is well taken. I also had difficulty going on Lyrica, but I hung in
there and continued with it because the pain under my skin all over my body
gave me no choice. Before Lyrica, I could not sleep or work; I felt as though
I were being fried with high amperages of electricity. I could only just lay
there in awful pain. And since I had broken my back in an industrial accident
which bent me backwards until I couldn't see below my chest, I have adjusted
what I consider to be painful.
The Lyrica killed the pain. As for getting off it, why would I do that? Its
addiction is a mute point for me, since living pain-free is itself addictive;
so that I
would become immediately addicted to whatever removes this awful pain.

Not trying to scare off
anyone considering taking this medication, but one has to be
very careful with Lyrica, it has some very nasty side effects.
Make sure your doctor starts you on a low dose and that you
and your doctor monitor yourself very closely for these. Make
a list of all of them and keep it handy. I was put on Lyrica
and it made my life horrendous with a lot of misery until they
could get me off of it. One also has to be weened off Lyrica,
abrupt stopping of the taking of this medication can actually
kill you. Here are a couple of links that tells you about
Lyrica for you and your doctor to consider::
