I use Cymbalta for neuralgia. i am happy with it, it takes the edge of the pain, so it is bearable. The first couple of weeks less alert and tired though.

After a couple of years using morphines this one became less effective. Switched to Methadone. It works against the pain. It takes a long time to wean down or to stop even. Months of pain, flew like symptoms and detox feelings. really horrible, this despite taking it slow. Now 5 months later I still have these feelings once in a while.

this drug is worse than the illness but whenever I say I want to stop all I hear is that I need to see the psychiatrist even though I don't even have one! Side effects: disturbed personality, often feeling list, sleeplessness waking 3 or 4 times a night, anxiety and panic, cold sweats and often feel like my life is over, with no future.

I took gabapentine to see if I genuinely to have neuralgia. After lots of discomforting and worrying side effects when I was getting used to it (above all headache and extreme tiredness), I am now, after 2 months, experiencing hair loss and muscle pain. On top of that, I've lost a heck of a lot of weight, but that might be because I'm a student and can't have alcohol with this medicine. What I ...

After starting on 3 x a day 50 mg lyrica I had to increase to 2 x a day 150 mg because of nerve pain from the hernia. The only side effect is a dry mouth. The problems I had with urine retention because of the hernia have now gone away thanks to the lyrica.

After several operations I had to go on oxycodone. Took it for 2 years and had to keep taking more. Really addictive (spent a week in the hospital trying to kick it). So don't take it for more than 2 weeks.

The first weeks I felt like I was drunk. Sleep well on it though. Noticed that I am in less pain. Haven't got fatter.

After fracturing my heel and an operation for severe neuralgia. Pain specialist prescribed lyrica with gradual increase. For the past month I have struggled with tingling in my head. I want to know if this is caused by the lyrica??? Given me a really nervous and anxious feeling. Just enough or not quite enough blood is getting to my brain. Is this a recognised phenomenon is there anyone here wh...

I definitely benefit from Lyrica, but only as far as the nerve pain in my legs goes. As soon as I notice the pain coming on, I take a bit more than 150 mg because I have no time for pain that isn't necessary.

I finally had surgery for a hernia (L5-S1) last October. Unfortunately the pain only decreased slightly. I had an epidural injection combined with Gabapentine three times a day. As a result the pain decreased, but the side effects are still serious. Side effects are a dry mouth, hot flashes and a red face like when having a fever. Also heartburn, dizziness and double vision. These should decrea...

The first 4 days it made me feel sleepy during the day, but the painful tingling in my hands was gone. So I continued and now even the sleepiness has disappeared.

The nerve pain was in my right buttock and was really bad. The first day I took this, I was almost ecstatic with the result: the pain was, near enough, completely gone. The second day the pain came back in full force.

Got from the dentist for nerve pain because I was going on holiday. Had hellish pain in my molar and after one day it was already less thank god! First few days it make me nauseous and dizzy. The worst side effect is the constipation. Despite all the negative experiences I've read I am actually really happy with this and rather this than that hellish pain. So actually hardly suffered at all wit...

Prescribed for MS pain. Medicine works really well in this respect, but the side effects (particularly the dry mouth) are, at the moment, worse than the problem itself. So that's why I've decided to switch to Lyrica.

Switched to Lyrica after trying amitriptyline and prozac. Haven't had a single moment of regret. Pain (due to MS) almost totally gone as well as the side effects from amitriptyline. Occasional issues with a dry mouth but apart from that, side-effect and pain free!

A few years ago my pain levels in my neck and shoulders overnight increased. I wasn't getting enough sleep. It's difficult to keep the pain at bay. Amitriptyline is the perfect drug as far as this goes. But if you need to get to work and get up on time and be alert and awake it's quite difficult. I stopped taking it about a week ago and straight away I was waking up 2 hours earlier every day, f...

I had a complete nervous breakdown 2 1/2 years ago, a year after that I was diagnosed with ADHD and then after a year of total exhaustion, inexplicable pain in my chest muscles, neck muscles, back, occasionally short of breath and anxious. Started hyperventilating and ended up on speed. Physically, my muscles were extremely tense so I was prescribed redomex. It took a good month for the pain to...

Together with paracetamol - 3x 1000 mg a day - in agreement with the GP - first week 2x 75 mg a day had no effect, dose was doubled, GP consented, no effect, so stopped after 3 weeks. Side effects: light-headedness, reduced sense of balance, no desire for sex, before getting up in the morning a leaden feeling in my body. It seemed like the pain was worse than before. Medication was tried becaus...
