lyrica and aspirin

I have osteoporosis of the right hip and osteopenia of the left hip. I have peripheral neuropathy (familial), and two bad knees.

I was back at work (desk job in FedGov) two weeks later, but the 24/7 pins/needles/weakness remained and I developed severe thalamic pain syndrome affecting my right fingers/hand/arm, right side of my face is VERY sensitive to even slight breeze, the right side of my scalp hurts when I take a shower under a very night water spray, and my right knee and foot cause pain, esp. the bottom of my foot feels like the skin/muscles are bowing out/away from my body.

i have fibromialgia and arthritis and bone spurs in my neck and shingles should i be taking all this and will the tierdness ever go away?

Opiates like codeine (hydrocodone and oxycodone) are usually compounded with another medicine, like the acetaminophen you mentioned, but also with aspirin. Among the medicines that codeine is mixed with aspirin are Lortab and Percodan, and they are short-acting. Opiates like morphine (hydromorphone) that are not compounded include the drug Dilaudid. Some other analgesics without Tylenol include Darvon and Ultram or Tramadol.

I have it infrequently (thank God) but it is like someone stabbing a knife in the side of my head and ear. Have you tried plain aspirin?

Four days later, I am back to where I started, but will return this Friday for another treatment. I am allergic to aspirin and NSAIDS which makes the pain and inflamation problem difficult to manage. I have begun Skelactin which helps, and have been on Cymbalta 60mg 1xday for four years now. I am told this cannot be combined with Lyrica, so although I have a prescription for it, I am afraid to combine them. I will ask about this on my next visit. Thank you for your advice.

You can also take over-the-counter pain medicines, such as acetaminophen, aspirin, or ibuprofen, to help reduce pain during an attack of shingles and antibiotics to prevent any infection. Please consult a dermatologist and get them prescribed. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.

Hi. I am taking Lyrica, 150mgs daily after having a VP shunt fitted in Nov. It is to help with the nerve pain as it heals. Side effects? It makes me tired but helps with the pain.About the canker sores, they can make you feel quite ill. It can be a sign of a dental problem,a lack of VitC or a sensitivity reaction to something you are taking. Try washing your mouth out with aspirin,but! then spit it out. It will help with the pain.About the steroids,be careful. Decide to take them or not.

Also, when I received my venomous bite that also sliced through my hand breaking it and slicing through nerves and tendons, the hand specialist recommended Lyrica. I actually tried it a few days ago and it it awesome at just 50 MG 2 times a day. No more pain and I sleep like a baby. It acts directly on nerves by mimicking nerve fluid and calms them. The nerves control muscles, so it calms them too. It also helps with anxiety. So I guess there are non-narcotic ways to control pain.

This was an excellent choice, as it helps with my anxiety, I use less clonazepam and I feel less drowsy. Lyrica did give me blurred vision and extra paranoia at the start, and that was indeed awful for the first couple weeks as I upped my dosage! After the initial troubles, I found that it really was better than gabapentin for me now. I have not gained weight, but remain the same weight I call my meds weight. I just try to remain active and not pig out.

I take cytomel, lyrica (which I am wondering about), nexium, travatan eye drops for high eye pressure, and trazadone to sleep.I also take birth control for pain and was told to stop on Wed. and start taking an aspirin. I had double vision two months ago, 3 episodes of blurred vision with low vision, and eye achiness. I'm not myself and frightened. One optho doc (from out of town) said go to ER immediately if it happens and the opthomalogist here thought it wasn't necessary. Any input?

Lyrica contains no aspirin or tylenol. However Lodine is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is used to reduce swelling and to treat mild to moderate pain. You should discuss what and if you should take any aspirin type products while you are on this patch with your physician or pharmacist.

Cymbalta has also had reports of causeing suicidal thoughts and on a molecular leval has a lot of simularities with lyrica so be catreful and stay in close contact with your doctor and us. I take lyrica 150Mg 3x per day and have never had that side effect but I keep a close watch. I also take an antidepresant called trazodone whitch is an older drug but one that is very easy to get along with. Best of luck and God bless.

My Dr was going to prescribe me lyrica for shingles pain but I was hesitant and refused at the time. I did some research on it when I got home and actually found that lyrica is approved in eroupe for anxiety. I also read reviews of people taking it for other things and found that it helped with their anxiety. Glad to know it is working for you. What dosage are you on?Where your prescribed the lyrcia for anxiety or something else? Hope it continues to help you.

I had surgery 3 months ago to remove a vagal schwannoma and some enlarged lymph nodes from in the left side of my neck. For the first two months I was completely numb from my earlobe to the bottom of my neck on the right side of the incision. This past month I've had some odd sensations, like itching but when I go to scratch I can't feel it and some tingling on and off. But the worst is the stabbing pain that comes and goes. My doctor says this means it's healing...

You can get addicted to lyrica, it is a controlled substance. but if they work for you and take away the pain and you know you are gonna have to take them the rest of your life, who care.

I've used Esgic Plus tablets for over 12 years for daily headaches, which often turned into vicious migraines. My family doctor gave me samples to try when Esgic Plus tablets first came out. Taking only one, with my usual 'four times a day aspirin doses' didn't get rid of the headache. It did dull the headache. Taken without the aspirin, the Esgic Plus actually set off the headache to a migraine.

I am in the same position with my husband. He is taking Lyrica and we would like to try having our first child. I know this was two years ago, but did your husband end up going off the Lyrica before you conceived?

Ive been on lyrica and nuvigil fro fibro pain and fatigue, and just found out I'm pregnant. I'm just wondering if anyone else has taken either one of those while pregnant. I've stopped them for i was on only 50 mg of lyrica and about 100 of nuvigil. but I'm still worried, and i feel like I've been hit by a train once again, the pain is almost unbearable, i know my doc personally, have an appt. with him for the 12th.

I am taking 300 mg of Lyrica a day. I am having heavy swelling in my hands, feet and ankles and doctor put me on Lasix. It is helping a bit but still uncomfortable and pain. I've put a lot of weight on and am also having bad memory problems (can't find my words) and blurry vision. Is there anything that can be done that doesn't require me to get off of Lyrica? it really helps my pain. If I have to get off of it what is the best way to do so?

Even though I take 8 to 12 aspirin a day and have for several years now, a doctor told me that my blood test results showed no aspirin in my body. He said that evidently it does no good for me to take it and gave me a prescription for Salsalate, which did absolutely nothing to help ease various pains. I have googled for info on why a body taking so much aspirin would have negative results for it as far as the blood tests. Have you ever heard of such a thing, and if so, why does that happen?

my question is the dr. prescribed lyrica for me and yesterday when i took it, i was feeling pretty weird and didn't really have the feeling of needing to take my methadone (35mg.), but i took it. Today i thought i might try not to take it. has anyone ever heard of lyrica for methadone withdrawel. it is very expensive at 300.00 a month, but i pay 420.00 month for the clininc. if anyone has heard is lyrica addciting?

i have exactly the same situation more than 2 years. Tried everything under the sun. All antivirals and lyrica-neurontin-amytriptiline- many other pain drugs. nothing worked yet. my life has been devasteted. no clue about what is going on yet.

I have been on lyrica for a while now. My doctor has increased the doseage and I am gaining weight in my stomach like crazy. Not sure what is going on with that, I don't want to gain any more weight than I am already carrying, which is alot. Next week I will be starting a heart healthy diet, my mom lives with me and has been seeing a cardiologist, so I figure that may help. If the diet doesn't help I may have to stop taking the lyrica.

i would get a full remal profile if I were you taking Lyrica--if in ONE month it caused me three ER trips and permanent damage--which it DID--I would say tyhe warnings on the packaging are completely insufficeint. No Black Box of any kind!

Hi, I take 75mg when needed for RLS and neuropothy, and it lays me out! I mean, a full on sleep. I was prescribed 75mg twice a day, but just couldnt take it and even come close to functioning. I keep it around now to help with W/D's and use it when i get spastic pain in my feet. It works great for that. Im sorry, but I dont get w/d from Lyrica and cant really help you with kinda dose. Im a big guy too, 6'2" and 220 pounds and that stuff layes me out!
