Guest guest Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Jan, I've been off the Lyrica for a week now and my bladder is back to normal. I took it for 6 weeks and 4 weeks in, I lost all bladder control. I reduced the dose til I was off of it, and within 2 days my bladder function was better. I saw my urologist on Friday and she said, " Anything is possible " when I told her that I thought it was the Lyrica. Jodi >3 - 4 times 75mg Lyrica (Pregabaline) Do not use Neurotin anymore for years. I still feel sleepy but can sleep als more regualy. offcourse this helps a lot. As you mention , you drink a lot. So indeed it looks like Lyrica give you more tencion. As for me i go 8 -15 times a day to the toilet. Ido talk about cathing but " don't make you bladder lazy " was the answer. When i used neurotin i couldn't transpire that good to. All by all also in combination with the rest of medication it works fine. i use: Carbamazepine 3 x 200mg, anti eleptica Make Nerves lazy but not on bladder and kidney, The spastic leg and arm are not that bad. I never hit uncontrolled something ore sink through my knees. Lyrica 3 á 4 x 75mg, Controll the nerves a less pain. Citalopram 20mg, Note: this anti depres is just to make my nerves quiet du to spastic sympthomes a have. Fact is i am less agressif since a take it. Arcoxia 1 x 120mg Note:Just against the pain Lyrica seems have more impact with than without this in the evening. Problems: Sleep a lot overall between 7 - 10 hours a day ( it was 10 -12 hour) Morphine/ Neurotin. Now sleep two times a day when i have worse pain thats much better felling.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Very interesting...I went through a period of having to cath myself while I was on meds, cant remember which meds now but very possibly could have been Lyrica as I was definately on that one. it never fails to amaze me at how these meds effect us. Subject: Lyrica To: tetheredspinalcord Date: Monday, November 22, 2010, 2:12 PM  Jan, I've been off the Lyrica for a week now and my bladder is back to normal.
