Yes Cindy, you are so very right. Some people just don't get it, you know? I was on Neurontin 400mg 3x daily for about a year. I had grown a tolerence to it and my doc discontinued it. That was about a year ago. So my new doc thought that starting the Lyrica might help. Lyrica and Neurontin and very similar, from what I have read pretty much the same. Does your doc know that your still in pain all day long? Please tell him if not. You shouldn't have to be, and he needs to change something for you. I saw your x-rays of your foot...ouch!! I would love to have a copy of my x-rays of my legs. You and I could be in the pins, screws and steel rods club together, lol!
I tried Ultram before and it didn't do much for me besides make me real jittery and couldn't sleep. I hope you and your doc can get your pain down to a low level or none at all
Betty'sMom- Yes I read that about the weight gain too
Thats the last thing I need, lol! I need something that causes weight loss
Wonder what that is??? Oh ya, diet and exercise
But what fun is that, lol!
Yoyo27- I took Cymbalta a couple of years ago. My internalist put me on it for depression/help with pain. It worked for me but as you said I grew a tolerence for it.
Thanks everyone for your responses. I am starting it tonight
DH is not working tomorrow so there will be help with the kiddos. Thats my main concern is starting something and it having bad effects on me and being alone with my kids. I would never forgive myself if something happened to them, they are my world
I will post an update tomorrow for those interested.
