OH...lol   InflamActin has been helping me...my doc had told me to take it but i bought it and did not fool with it...then i googled for herbs that act as steroids for my sinus problems....have been taking 2-3 caps daily and it is helping my sinuses and my back

NO I'M NOT ALRIGHT...'

I don't get this...is it normal to feel so much anxiety, and sweeting without being cold...I truly just want to hit a punching back, and am shaky..

Is this normal for day 4...I even took a Valium and .5m of Klonopin 1 hour ago, but that didn't seem to help a bit...

Is this normal for day 4???

Lots of love to ya sweetie....and keep doing your research, you need something for your pain!
Love,
Todd

neurontin works well for me....have been on it for years.....no buzz...do sleep really good when u first start taking it but your body adjusts to it...it is a safe drug and similar to lyrica in effect...

[road2recovery]

thanks, i just read some stuff that said the same thing..lol dont' take if you were addicted to alcohol or drugs...HELLO, **** i was addicted to both...
what should i do?
i have tried everything, even had the epidurals, and i am not going back to pain meds..
r2r

[worried878]

did not mean to repeat myself there...was googling and typing  lol

[worried878]

Not supposed to be addictive...my friend who quit with me is on it...she sounds funny at times and she says it is the lyrica...she abuses everything she takes tho so I am not sure if she is taking the correct amount but I am going to bring it up...found this
7 - Patients who have had prior drug or alcohol problems may be more likely to misuse Lyrica
As with any prior significant medical problem, patients who have abused or been addicted to drugs or alcohol in the past should inform their doctor. Because of the increased possibility of misuse of Lyrica in these individuals, closer monitoring may be necessary or another treatment may be preferable.

My pain doc is a former addict...he did want to give me the lyrica and wants me to stay on the nuerontin as it is safer....he also hates tramadol,  and has always been stingy with any narcotics he has given me...he is very careful...he hates tramadol

[road2recovery]

thanks, is lyrica addicting???   i have been reading on it, and it says no...But so does ultram and we know better then that
thanks so much for the info

[worried878]

Lyrica is the new "nuerontin"...my pain doc says he would rather me stay on the nuerontin uless it is not working and it is...I do believe it is stronger as people tell me they feel a little loopy after they take lyrica in the beginning....as for the zanaflex...I guess I have a low tolerence to those meds and dont take muscle relaxers often..hope it works for you

[avisg]

its the only one that i have ever taken that has worked I would take a half to start .I have never taken soma heard to many bad things about it .

[K Todd]

Do your research sweetheart...

I know you need something for your pain, but the last thing I want to see you on a drug that ends up screwing you up in the long run!

"Google" it and get as much info, and all the side effects, along w/ addictive behavior's the drug may have.

lots and lots of love to you!
XOXO

Really, because flexiril does nothing....i will give it a try
thanks so much
r2r

[road2recovery]

thanks so much....i have 3 herniated disc, and have been using motrin, and other OTC things....they also gave me a persription for lyrica, i just don't want anything else that is addicting...
r2r

[avisg]

thats what i use they work the best for me

[allaboutmary]

I took them years ago and they did help me sleep, but not sure how much they will help with pain. I guess it might depend if its muscle spasm, nerve pain or arthritis pain. I think it would help if it was muscle related.   Hope ya feel better.   Hugs ,  Mary

[road2recovery]

Thanks for the info....that is how the flexiril was, very weak....
i tried soma, but it made me feel drunk....lol
thanks again
r2r

[TrayCee]

Ive been taking them for about 6 months. Theyre VERY weak.  I take 3 at night before bed sometimes.  If they work at all its very little.  And thats taking 3 at a time.

[road2recovery]

[toxictome]

Can't help you out on this one.....hope you find some relief!!
