lyrica withdrawal help

[Indiedawn]

I suffer from chronic pain and had allergic three actions to gabapentin, lexapro and cymbalta, then I switched pain doctors not happy, he suggested lyrica I said I wouldn't go on it until I spoke with Eli Lily they told me there is no chance of me having the allergy, I was only on it for two weeks and that dyskinesia kicked in, I was on a low dose, only one pill, because I was or he having problems with it.

Now I'm in lyrica brutality withdrawal! I'm sweating I'm freezing my head is going to blow off, my stomach is nauseated I can't walk it's been almost 30 days, and my pain Dr. is not helping me, I've increased my B12, taking magnesium drinking lots of water I met my last wits end, I had a traumatic accident five years ago and I have been fighting to regain my mobility and strength,

What is up with lyrica? Why can't I get over this withdrawal? I'm crying nonstop, I'm a fighter, someone please tell me this is going to an end! And if you have any tips please help! Thank you

No, no, it's not going back downhill, this is NORMAL, and how it works.  Try not to feel discouraged; just keep telling yourself this is 'normal'.  It also has to do with when you took the meds.  If you took them during the day, that is when your body is expecting them, so you will feel worse at those times...the dosing times.  Just that you are having some good hours is wonderful...and a huge improvement.  EXPECT some setbacks, that way you will not be surprised.  That mindset is what got me through the Gaba withdrawal.  *Everyone* who goes through withdrawal, no matter the drug, has good moments/days, then maybe some bad, but eventually the bad days will become less and less.  

You are doing great!!!  Keep hanging in there!  (((Hugs)))

This thing is a beast! I'm in and out I'm in, I felt so good last night, now it's all going back downhill again. Oh my God, I'm calling the FDA and I may sue Eli Lilly, I called them first and told him of all my allergies, but they don't care they just want to sell! Hugs to everybody thanks for your wishes hope everyone gets there rest!

This goes out to everyone, in the past 24 hours of finally feeling a change, I've been drinking so much water, I'm still in a bit of a haze, I will thank you properly person who told me to not overdo coconut water or B12, I just switched to loads of water, unfortunately the Dramamine didn't work for me, it increased my heartbeat, I'm just in a weakened state you have to understand I have been bedridden on and off for five years, mainly bedridden, and have lost so much weight I was down to 95 pounds when I was put only lyrica I'm just highly allergic to everything.

I am a writer, at some point I'm going to write a book on my experience am going to stay in contact with everybody because I want everyone to know that there's hope I have hope today, I know it's not over my body shaking, I'm just praying for no setbacks, I have had them. And then they make me more despondent, you really do just have to hang in.

I'm disabled I'm just sick of the medical community and the pharmaceutical community, no one wants to take responsibility anymore, I was above every Dr.'s head, and every time I've called Eli Lilly regarding the side effects they acted like nothing was happening.

I have a call into the FDA, I am seriously considering a lawsuit, I am not the type of person that sues, I have to think about it because I don't know if I can handle the stress, but as I keep telling everyone I'm a fighter! I just love you all! I'm going to continue my battle today lots of water, and I am walking the dog for the first time today! I'm single, and I had to move in with my mother it's not right! I went from riches to rags from the medical and pharmaceutical companies. I have spent so much money just on this lyric withdrawal, trying all different sorts of concoctions! It just infuriates me!

When and what dr. Are you going to see next? I am watching your conversations. What was your initial diagnosis?

I would love to use dragon fly my husband uses on main computer..
This iPad is shorting out so I apologize for not writing more pearls of help....
Do not give up hope!
I saw my primary care dr today because I have having nerve pain firing in so many areas!
I need his help to approve a dr. Or group to tackle my dysthetic vulvadynia- Pedundal nerve blocks are said to help the pain..He told me to find a dr. Here and he would ok the consult...so got that accomplished..just have tovfind a specialist...on my own....but I have my trusty iPad...wish I had had this  the 18 yrs we were overseas with my husband's company...My friend from Uzbekistan has breast cancer and I can't hop on a plane to help her...
There are not many doctors there that are true specialists.for cancer?...she can't get a visa to get out of the country for proper treatment...opium flows daily in big blue trucks from Afghanistan North..yet an 8 yr old boy had only Motrin to take for his cancer!....UNREAL!
I would only be able to hold her hand as she doesn't speak much English but
She loves to sing our favorite song..Hotel California

  We are listening to you and trying to help....feel our concern..
Get on chronic pain couch group.and read dalubaba's suggestions on handling pain....
I hope my rambling has helped you forget for a few minutes, your misery...
It was not to hinder you with problems of others..Or Lordy, myself!
What will be will be .....was my mother's favorite song...she would iron clothes for 15 cents a garment......got a dollar a coffee can full of walnut meat she sat on cold concrete steps to pick...

what is your favorite song? What type of writing did you do?
We live in a great country that is not cursed for expressing our thoughts, allows forums like this to exist..
