lyrica gambling

I have started taking Lyrica and I have a complaint! It's making me WANT TO DO HOUSEWORK!!! Do you think I should call my pharmacist about this? Is this a Normal side effect? If it is I am not going to take it anymore! My husband might get used to it and that is NO GOOD!

First off - first post so small background needed - I tend to not have the ability to moderate my cravings which to me turns them into a an addiction. Booze, pot, smoking, gambling, are the main ones only cause they cost me alot of money- but i quit those years ago, but still kinda crave. I have many other addictions of which i admit to but noone cares casue either they are not chemically addictive or illegal/ socially acceptable .

To make a long story short my PCP was perscribing Lyrica and Percaset to me. Dont like the Lyrica and the Percaset 5/325 is just not helping like it use to. So I decided to call the Dr. that I trust the most and that is my Oncologist. I told him I dont like the Lyrica and the percocet is just not helping. I also told him I do not want to see my PCP anymore. He then gave me scripts for Cymbalta and 10mg straight oxycodone and told me to back it up with the acetomenaphin I need.

I believe i have a drinking problem and have a history of compulsive gambling as well. I drink 2-3,4 nights a week. Am i damaging my mind? What is the answer? Is there a choice other than AA?

Look at Gambling addiction for example. If a chronic gambler were to make the argument that they are not in fact addicted or that their addiction is somehow less serious then a heroin addiction; would you believe them? Of course not! It's simply common knowledge that gambling addiction tears lives apart and breaks down individuals just as effectively as Heroin.

I was on mirapex for 3 years, my miracle drug, for my RLS during that period I develop a gambling addiction. I find out that this is a side of the mirapex.For the sake of my self and the loss od my my family I choose to get off of it.I It took me 2 trys to get off of them and have suceeded. I no long have the urge to gamble. ,Now I am on simumet for my RLS and it does not work like the mirapex , I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go to sleep.

I did find this website seems interesting of to have a read http://www.freshstart.org.

Will swelling and itching go away by continuing to take Lyrica. I started in my hands and feet. I have been taking it a month and the symptoms are daily but are mild and seem less and less. Today, it is only swelling on the top of my ear with slight itching. Should it continue taking it, because i heard that discontinuing could cause a seizure.

Has anyone been prescribed lyrica? I have, and have had great results with it for nerve pain in my right arm and hand. Opinions, please. My two other posts with more description vanished, so I will leave with this lol.

Does anyone take lyrica and if so, has it made a difference resting at night? Thanks.

i just started lyrica yesterday...75mg...only taken it twice...could it ALREADY be helping my symptoms or is the "good feeling" just in my head?

I started Lyrica in Nov. O7'. I felt horrible for a long time. I went slowly. One pill a week, until I reached 150mg. I hurt all that time. After I had that 150mg ( not much) I started feeling better. It took so long.....more than a month. Finally, I did feel better. I did have breakthrough pain, nothing like I had before, but stabbing here and there. I still do! My Rhemy asked me to up my dose. I refused, as I had sides that put me asleep so often...

so for awhile when i missed the lyrica, i thought oh, i have vicodin...but as Vicodin off, more and more the lyrica helped.....but when I missed doses of everything..., It was by my wife keeping a diary, that I realized I was missing so many just a few days or even one...the Oh! went on... And now I have taken 3yrs without feeling the sick,sweaty feeling I felt when I missed dose.. I did not gain weight ..

Hi, Lyrica shouldn't be addictive at the low doses used for neuropathy. My grandmothers been on it or the other derivative, gabapentin, for years. Just take it at low doses. It works wonders for treating nerve pain though.

My pain doc says neurontin is a much safer drug than lyrica and wants me to stick to the neurontin.....lyrica does have a euphoria associted with it with use for some....especially at first....

I have b een taking Lyrica for by back for several months. Lyrica is also for nerve damage. I have been 3 days without it(300mg a day) and I must say it truley does help.

has anyone ever been perscribed Lyrica for cronic pain. If so how much do you take, and how long did it take to notice any results. I started taking 50MG's 3X's a day. I started last Tuesday, and haven't noticed any difference in my pain. any feedback would be great.
