Lyrica, I'm used to it but realized after an operation that I had, when I started it back up, that it does give me a little of a groggy feeling but besides that it allows me to live a normal life along with a 1/2 tab of methadone. So I take Lyrica in morning and evening and 1/2 methadone in morning and lunch, and a full methadone in the evening. I have no swelling and ignore itching, many meds make me do that and I am even allergic to my own body oils and hair so have to take a shower and wash my hair everyday or the itching would drive me bonkers
Since I wrote the post about stopping Mirapex (generic) I tried just one .25 mg Mirapex at night along with my other meds and it seems to be helping again. I can't figure the Mirapex out but I am just happy it is sort of working again
I probably should mention that without meds I have WED 24 hours a day so that is why I take methadone and Lyrica, they allow me to sit at my desk at work for one thing, without meds I have to continually pace (no sitting, laying, or sleeping) for most of the 24 hour a day. So Lyrica is a life changer for me. Even when Mirapex is not working and I get between zero and 2 hours of sleep a night I can still work, the Lyrica is responsible for that.
