Lyrica The Wonder Drug

Updated

I used to take high doses of narcotics for severe neuropathy pain. That crap almost killed me and destroyed my life, leaving me destitute and homeless. I had to move in with my sister, and then some friends to stay off the street. I have been taking lyrica for several years and it helped, even while on the narcotics. Since going off the narcotics, I have relied entirely on Lyrica to deal with the pain. My doctor changed my dosage about a month or so ago to 300mg twice a day and soon to 300mg three times a day. The difference has been amazing and the neuropathy pain is almost completely gone while the Lyrica is in effect. I do have some side effects though, like headaches, dizziness, sleepiness but I don't care. Anything is preferable to the pain, except for narcotics.

Lyrica has been a great help to me. I had a knee injury that left my left leg paralyzed. The pain in my leg was excruciating and incapacitating. My job requires that my mind be fully functional. The use of Lyrica allowed me to continue my job and stay off of public assistance. It was one of the proudest moments in my life that I was able to drag my paralyzed leg around for 18 months and never felt sorry for myself or my situation. I was able to carry on and do my job and pay all of my own bills and meet all of my responsibilities with no help. The motion in my leg has leg has almost completely returned to normal. I have completely stopped taking pain medication of any type. I never felt any psychotropic or other negative effects from Lyrica. Whenever I see the Lyrica commercialism I have to agree with it, It was a very beneficial and useful drug for me and allowed me to continue my career and maintain my independence. To the makers of Lyrica I can only say,
Thank You
