Well the neurologist put me on neurontin.  But the more I was on it the worse the side effects got.  I was dizzy, off balance, and when I would drive I'd almost fall asleep and almost wrecked.  So I spoke to my regular doc.  He said I was put on to high of a dose.  He should of started me on 150mg instead of 300mg.  So he decided to take me off of it completely and gave me a sample of lyrica.  I'm supposed to call him in three days to see how I feel on it.  If everything goes good then he'll keep me on it.  Problem is...its a controlled substance and very exspensive.  My insurance might not work.  If it doesn't or insurance doesn't cover it he'll put me on topamax.  So we'll see.

Tabitha, Barb takes Lyrica for her diabetic neuropathy and fibromyalgia, and she swears that she couldnt get through a day without it.  She says it cuts the pain down to at least a tolerable level.

If it works for you, i hope that your insurance covers it......

sometimes i take nadolol to prevent migraines.....   not all the time..  I am not a medicine person If i don't have to take it, i won't....  but i can relate on the pain....   they are horrible.  I'll take meds to prevent/early signs of the migraines... but ugh, i hate the side effects.
