Re: Re: my breakdown- Jerilyn

[Guest guest]

I am on 75 mgs of Lyrica at night. I take Mobic once during the day. I am

supposed to go up to 150 Mg of Lyrica during my christmas break. I had bad side

affects when I tried to take it during the day. I was told it will take about a

week for the side affects of the wasted feeling to wear off. I am hoping I will

feel better then. Thank you for the encouraging words. Theresa

Hi. I felt the exact same way as you a couple months ago. Have faith

that you can find the right meds. I am on Cymbalta and it has really

hepled me. But I didn't see results until the 2nd week of taking it.

Everyone reacts differently to meds. But after a little trial and

error, I hope you will find the right ones for you.

At the beginning I felt so helpless and useless and so upset that I

am going to have this for life. We all go through it. Just see how

the meds will help. And keep your head up. And keep posting here,

because we know what you are going through and we are all willing to

listen.

What meds are you on???
