I want to write about my second experience with Lyrica. I’ve been taking Lyrica for a little over a week now. I tried it before but didn’t have the medical coverage to continue it. I decided that I would try it again now that I’m covered.
Well……Tomorrow will be my last day on this medication. At first my body was cool with it. But yesterday my body told me that I would need to be done with this drug.
I recommend that people do a little bit of research about this drug. It’s a good medication and has worked wonders for a lot of people. Unfortunately, I had the craziest heart palpitations yesterday. I thought my heart was jumping out of my chest. I was definitely having a panic moment. But I only have myself to blame for that. I think I accidentally took and extra dose 2hrs after my regular dose.
Duh, Cheryl, follow the damn instructions next time.
But I am definitely going to follow-up with the doctor here on campus to make sure I can stop the Lyrica. I’ll definitely go back to Gabapentin. I’ve been on the same dose of Gabapentin for about 2.5 years. There is always that break through nerve pain but it has worked well.
Okay I’m rambling on and on now.
I’ll write a follow-up post tomorrow or Tuesday.
I’m also going to write about University life and dealing with accessibility and learning with the distraction of TM.
I hope everyone that reads this blog is doing well. Feel free to post comments.
