lyrica vs percocet

my friend had back surgery and was prescribed to percocet for his back pain. Then he told me they gave him one day lyrica. He hated it. But still keep in mind he and I also were looking for that "buzz". Or just google it and it will tell you all about it.

t think there are any severe reactions when coffee is mixed with percocet or lyrica or both. However, you can always contact your local pharmacist for a definitive answer and/or you can input caffeine with lyrica and percocet into a interactions checker on the web. But I am pretty certain that you will not have any severe reactions. Take care.

I have just started lyrica and hope that it decreases my pain to the point that I can get off the percocet entirely. I assume it is better to slowly wean down your percocet dose before stopping but I am so afraid of the suffering I must face to get rid of it. Some days I wish I was just 'strong' enough to handle my pain and not have started these stupid things to begin with. I would be very grateful for any feedback.

If you had been taking the percs for a while and it did what you needed it to do and then youstarted Lyrica and got real dizzy, I would say the Lyrica made you dizzy. I took Lyrica for a while and it always made me dizzy for 3-5 days until my system got used to it and then I was fine. Just something to think about...good luck!

I was prescribed 300mg of lyrica per day (was on 1600mg neurontin). I have been getting along just fine on 75-150mg lyrica with no noticeable side effects so far. All things considered I am doing better and feeling better then I was before but not miraculously so. My copay for lyrica is 5X more then neuronton so that hurts a bit more. :-) Thanks again to all!

I am thinking either the percocet or the surgery though since I was experiencing the pain occasionally before the lyrica but it is hard for me to give up the percocet because I still have so much pain from the surgery without it. Anyone else had this problem with percocet or lyrica or the ALIF surgery? Any ideas or comments are welcome. I am scheduled to visit my back dr next Tuesday.

I been on this for 20 years after having 3 back lower back surg, i was taking 4 morphine and 5 percocet a day with lyrica 150 trazadone 100 and ambien 10 I stopped everything but my morphine for a while until my mom got sick and i had to take care of her and hurt my neck. so I started back taking the percocet but I told my dr i just wanted to take bthem twice a day.

My daughter has been on multiple drugs over the last two years during diagnosis and treatment and is currently on Lyrica and Percocet. The Lyrica really seems to help her emotionally and physically but now I am worried about the continued use of drugs to alleviate her pain. She says she would just like to have her kidney removed in the hopes the pain will vanish. I, personally don't want this to be an option. Do you have an opinion or suggestions for me?

How did you get 15 mg Percocet. I have derided several times from high does of lyrica. Nuerobtin the same things g. You take yo test 500 mg is day to fight withdrawals then you with draw from the lyrica which will be easy because after 4/5 days you taper your dies and in 10 days off. Subutex is VERY hard to withdraw from and most people can't stop. Unless you do it fast and do not go on long term. Like a week of being in it and get off. Just y opinion based of what I have heard. Good luck.

I admit this drug scares me and I tried the Lyrica route and hate that drug. this was I am told the original Lyrica and Lyrica is supposedly stronger. I sure dont know what the answer is either. So frustrating!

Fentanyl is a stonger form of an opioid. Opiate and opioid mean the same thing: Opiate is an adjective while opioid is a noun. Percocet is an opioid as is fentanyl. They are synthetic which means they are man made and not derived from a plant. Good job on getting off the Percocet!

t have had any kind of withdrawal going to Percocet from Vicodin. Whatever occured was unrelated. Percocet is stronger than Vicodin. Try not to over think this. It will be what it is...it won't be the worst thing you'll go through. Just not pleasant. It's truly like having the flu...

I am having kidney stones and the doctor put me on Percocet and told me to stop the Norco..Is Percocet stronger than Norco? The stones are killing me.

did u have a problem with percocet...if u did i wouldnt start them back up just cos lyrica makes u dizzy..

Lyrica is for nerve pain,percocet and other pain meds usually wont help nerve pain.

Post surgery I had a few complications including nerve damage in my leg and pelvic arthritis. I was on percocet lyrica and cymbalta. Once the nerve damage got better I stopped the lyrica and cymbalta. After going back to work after surgery, I was afraid of taking percocet (im a teacher) so the dr gave me tramadol. 2 weeks ago I had steroidal injections in my pelvis and asked for something stronger because the tramadol wasnt working.

Gabapentin and Lyrica are often used for nerve pain. Less commonly Clonidine, an old blood pressure med, is used. Also some antidepressants like Cymbalta and Nortryptiline are used in treating nerve pain. Nerve pain can be very difficult to treat. My doctor tried me on many combinations and dosages of medications before we found what works best for me. Where is your nerve pain and what have you tried to treat it?
