Good info to know about Lyrica for pain.....

[clean_in_ks]

Not really a question.  Just wanted to share something really important for us addicts with pain that may use Lyrica.  On the WebMD.com site where you can check out effects of any drug, precautions, interactions, etc. the med guide says this:  "May cause abnormal drug seeking behavior (addiction).  This risk may be increased if you have abused alcohol and/or drugs in the past. Take EXACTLY as prescribed to lessen the risk of addiction."
A good precaution for me.....maybe it will help someone else, too.

No need for depression, Ms Pattie!  Key words "precaution" and take "exactly" as prescribed.  Just the awareness.....cause as drug addicts we can't be too careful as we're living recovery!  Like Sara says,
"knowledge is power".  Not finding this forum until I was 55 days cleans kinda hits that one outta the ball park!!  Boy, did I NOT have any knowledge or support from all of you.......ignorance was NOT bliss!!

HAPPY 7 DAYS!!!

P.S.  What did they tell you about your low potassium and high white blood count?  No infection?  Emergen-C helped my low potassium A LOT and if it's low, can make you tired.  (like we really need MORE of that word!)

Oh great. Of course that's what I'm on.  Now I feel depressed.
