Study on Neurontin and Lyrica - Brain Beware

Until I find a alternative I'll continue to use Lyrica. If I had a choice I'd be without meds all together, but I enjoy being able to function.

I've tried, well not tinctures, although it helps it doesn't do anything for the crazy shocks I get. I still get them, not as frequent or as severe with the Lyrica.
I experience many off the side effects that come with the Lyrica. I've tried weaning myself off it numerous times, always back to the shocks. I really don't see any option.

Thanks, Califanna, for this very useful warning link.

I was prescribed Lyrica earlier this year and filled the prescription, but it still sits on my shelf untouched. After reading about the terrible long-term effects on Apparelyzed, I couldn't bring myself to take it. And now this.

As an alternative, I'm scheduled for a radiofrequency ablation @l5-S1 in December. Two trials with anaesthetic to locate the specific site were successful, so fingers crossed for this one.

Am also still experimenting with weed, but really dislike inhaling the hot vapor. Looking into edibles. Any good brownie recipes out there?

This Thread has resulted in quite a little mutual admiration society.

This is an interesting blog you just shared.

Oh, and I weaned myself off Lyrica two years ago. I was only on 150mg a day (75mg x2. Daily) for three years but its left me with permanent heart damage! I now have episodes of SVT, esp after eating, and have to take meds for that instead. Lyrica is evil!
