Side effects... the only ones that I noticed so far are I'n not quite as hyper as I was from the vicodin, I actually can take a nap. I did confuse a few words the first week but nothing major. However if the weight gain starts I am OFF THEM. I do notice a little increase in appetite so I am watching that. So far my advice is try the lyrica out I seem to be finding some relief. However my insurance won't cover it. My doctor gave me 6 months supply of samples, he is great.......good luck to you,  |
Queeneee & ibake&pray, thanks alot, I do indeed ck. on every drug I take, but nothing like hearing from real people, I always feel like we don't find out everything about meds, even when we think we do, I have not have a choice but to try it, pain just getting worse more uncontrollabe, figured out alot to do with inflammtion, waiting for test no doc. will anything more without them. I felt hyper. on the Vic. also, only ended up lasting about 3 hrs, on oxycodone (lowest dose)just till neuro appointment next friday ( hate taking meds at all), tests due before then. now of course done with streroid pack so pain back and oxy not lasting either, I hope the Lyrica works, heard some have nasty effects, others don't, also some gain weight and other don't, with my luck I will, and I am vey short,only weigh 118 now and use to weight between 100-105 till I hit forty, don't carry weight well gained it before with steroids, never lost it all, but want to feel better so we will see. As for dose I started 1 50mg @ night for a week then up to 2, maybe 3, hope not. Thanks again, Sammy
