lyrica

Avatar f tn s possibly just coincidence because hypermobility syndrome is a damn strange condition which can manifest in endless ways, but having suffered urinary urgency and frequency my entire life and having not lost control of my bladder since I was in primary school, to lose control three times in the week I upped the dose - as instructed by my psychiatrist - that in itself is enough to make me stop taking it.
Avatar f tn While I was undiagnosed, I was on Neurontin for a couple of months and then tried Lyrica. I do think Lyrica relieved more pain, but it did cause me more side effects and in the end, I was not happy with the balance of relief vs. complications. Lyrica made me feel more dizzy and confused. For example, I would take my dose, and within minutes I wouldn't remember if I had taken it yet or not. That made me uncomfortable.
Avatar n tn t processing things the way it used to. I still have the urinary frequency and severe pain on both sides of my spine in my lower back. Any suggestions about what might be causing this? I'd like to have some ideas to talk to my urologist about, because he seems to think it's just overactive bladder, even though the meds aren't helping.
Avatar f tn Still having the off and on urination issues and tingling. I think my right lymph node is slightly swollen also. This is really stressing me out. Any insight into what might be causing this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Avatar f tn Hi I'm a 19 year old college student with a boyfriend for about 4 months and I drink about 2 to 3 times a week. We have been in a somewhat sexual relationship for about 2 months (I am still a virgin, but have given a ********, been eaten out, and fingered). My parents do not know that I have a bf or that I drink and I have to hide that from them because its not really acceptable with my middle eastern culture. About a month ago, my doctor diagnosed me with a UTI.
1322693 tn?1308153896 such as daily tremors, hyperreflexia, leg and arm spasms with burning sensations, change in gag reflex, pressure in my head so bad I can barley sit or stand and even laying down hurts, eye twitching, urinary and bowel problems. All of this without light or sound sensitivity! We will see what she has to say. I hope she doesnt pass my bowel problems up to constipation or IBS. Drs seem so willing to throw a diagnosis and not look more into it.
Avatar n tn Overactive bladder symptoms are urinary urgency, frequency and sometimes getting up at night to void. 5% of 25 yr olders have overactive bladder. You either have a structurally small bladder or its a functional problem where low volumes of urine in your bladder trigger the urge to void. Patients with overactive bladder "tend to urinate frequently".
382218 tn?1341181487 m now experimenting with Lyrica; coming off the Neurontin slowly and going up on the Lyrica. GP prescripted up to a max. of 150mg per day of Lyrica. Right now I'm at 100mg Lyrica, 1800mg Neurontin, and 50mg Elavil. All list drowsiness as a side effect, and this combo is not affecting me negatively (except a tad of urinary hesitancy which is improving, and occasional ravenous appetite). I take all these meds for neuropathic pain, and none of it seems to be doing much for me.
Avatar m tn Is there any connection that anyone knows of between gastric problems and urinary problems. My son has both and we are becoming increasingly desperate to find out whether there is a link between the two. It does appear that when he has a urine infection that his gastric probems get worse, but we are getting nowhere trying to find answers other than him having loads of tests and appointments.
Avatar m tn I am a 21 year old male and have been having problems with frequency and urgency of urination for about 6 months now. The problem began soon after I was forced to pick up my dog, who was being attacked by another dog, though I'm not completely sure the symptoms are related to that. After the incident involving my dog, I experienced some muscle soreness and stiffness in my lower back.

Avatar f tn The burning sensation goes away after urination and starts building up when the bladder has some urine. I also have urge to urinate and empty frequently now.All this happened after a massage where the masseuse touched my penis with some vaginal fluid on her hands. Can you pls help.
Avatar f tn I know all these drugs are pretty much the same and their for people with seizures and doctors now give it to people with chronic pain like me! Well I have tried all but not for more than a month. With Elavil I didn't like the way it made me feel. Neurontin and Trileptal I didn't take it long b/c I noticed nothing. I just started taking Lyrica 75mg 3x a day started about almost 2 weeks ago.
307874 tn?1242755798 I got outside early this morning and pulled some weeds in my flowerbeds. I came in and went to go pee and I peed on myself and didnt know it until it felt wet on my underwear! I have mentioned to the pa that I think I had better go and urinate and almost pee on myself before I can get my pants down. It will just pop into my head to go pee and I almost pee on myself. I got up last night and ran into the dresser last night. I go to one side evertime. It seems like I go to the left.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn What exactly are cymbalta and lyrica? Aren't they anti-depressants? How do they help with the pain? Do they help with chronic fatigue as well? I have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue, and the aches and pains(especially legs from my thighs to my ankels) are leading the doctor to think fibromyalgia. I was just wondering about these meds because I NEED some relief and I've heard many mentions of these meds. Can they be taken with provigil?
951196 tn?1246757829 Do not lose hope and every individual is different and with MS you have myriad of symptoms and problems which you know. Just ask someone close to you to reappeal for your case as there might be a way out for the insurance etc. Take care and do your best!
Avatar n tn Lately i've been getting really bad cramps so bad i feel light headed and i almost faint. I'm not having my period or anything and one time i had to miss school because my stomach hurt so much so please tell me what's wrong so i can see my doctor right away.
483733 tn?1326798446 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?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn I also started having breast milk without being pregnant. My pharmacist and Dr took me off of Lyrica and the ticks slowed down and the breast milk went away. Pain became intolerable so they switched me to Lamectal and I have started breast milk again and well as a little more of the ticks than I had without any of the meds. Anyone with any ideas? I need the meds but I don't want the lactation to hurt my body in the long run.
