Guest Vietnam Tanker Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I take Lyrica as wellas zoloft, Zanax, and several other drugs, the VA has me on 29 prescribed drugs at the same time. The only problem I have with Lyrica is a short term momory loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81150 CAFB Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Thanks for the quick response. It's just scary reading the damn warning sections and interactions. Does the lyrica work or is it for maintenance of an issue (fibromyly something or diabetes neuropathy)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted February 25, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 25, 2010 Lyrica is the same type of drug as neurontin. It is an anti-convulsant which is used for many other things including chronic pain. The only thing I don't like about it is that it may slow you down even more than the klonopin. You may have weight gain. I think it is pretty harmless as opposed to many other drugs. It has to build up in your system. I am already slowed down by pain meds and anti-anxiety drugs. If I get any slower I will just stop. All the drugs you take interact with all the rest. No one has really studied all the possible interaction combinations over a long period. We are the lab rats in these human experiments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
