I haven't been able to try Lyrica due to the Topamax that I take for my migraines, but I have been reading up about Sevilla. Keep us informed if you try it. I take Cymbalta and Flexeril that has been very beneficial and Requip for RLS and a sleeping aide plus pain meds as needed, so far I am doing pretty good with the regimen that I am on. If you don't mind my asking why wouldn't the insurance pay for the Lyrica? I hope you have a good night.
I'm not able to work either. I try to hold down a part-time job but for every 1 day that I work I'm in bed for the next 2 days recooperating.

I used to have terrible migraines then I had a spinal tap; now I rarely get even a headache. I also take sleep meds; either Lunesta or Tylenol PM (quick release gel caps). My insurance would no longer pay for Lyrica because of the cost and told me I had to try a cheaper drug (Gabapentin) for 6 months then I could go back to Lyrica. Dumb huh?

Good to hear someone is on something that works for them. Hope you continue to do well.
