kayjay Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hello all- I just wanted to update on my Lyrica experience. I have been taking it for a little under 4 weeks (50mg) two times a day. At first I did not like it... it made me sleepy and hungry. Now I am finding that it is really helping me.I have gone 4 days without a nap!!!! I only have a headache when I am due for the next dose. My energy is up and my IBS is better. My weight is now stable.Anyway I wanted to tell anyone with hyper-pots, fibro, migraines, and IBS that this is the best med I have found yet. I am also on a beta blocker, klonopin (at bedtime) and Lexapro (which I think does nothing but my dr doesn't want to take me off it. I have not had any new meds in a few months so I really credit the Lyrica for helping me.I will say I felt worse for the 2 weeks.... now you would have to pry it out of my cold dead fingers to take it away. Less pain is a wonderful thing.For those of you with everything I have except the IBS... you may be able to take something for the constipation. Anyway I sadly am not "cured" and not even where I could work... but I am hoping someday soon to go to the market by myself.Hope this helps someone else- For me I am giving the Beta-blocker, klonopin and Lyrica the thumbs up... remembering I was on death's door step in March of '09.

JeffKohrman Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Wow, that's great! My drs. have talked about Lyrica, but are wary of starting anything until they've got me good and diagnosed. Glad it's helping you though!!
