hello. even typing this right now is difficult. lyrica has taken away my ability to type correctly, makes me feel more anxious, and ive put on a lot of weight. thing is it works so well...at least it did in the first 2 months. i take 150-300mg a day. it no longer works and i feel like shit.
so here is my idea, and i DO want feeback on this:
im going to see a dr tomorrow with the honest aim of being prescribed .5mg klonopin once a day for 2 weeks out of the month. thats it!
i want to cycle between lyrica and clonazepam. essentially i would only be using the kpin in order to give my receptors a break from lyrica and let it do its magic again. anyone who has taken pregablin knows that it stops working after taking it everyday for a month or two.
i guess my question is this: has anyone used klonopin/xanax/vistaril in order to take a break from lyrica in order to ensure it keeps working and doesnt poop out?
it makes sense to me that this would work but i have this feeling that im taking a dangerous step by adding a benzo to my regimen. would i be better to take vistaril? i mean does it really work that well??? ive found pregabalin to work much better than any benzo so maybe vistaril would be the same?
i think its a good idea to have a benzo anyway just in case of emergency. i dont get panic attacks anymore but i have this HORRIBLE anxiety that starts from the moment i wake up until i go to bed. it just does not go away. i have PTSD and i think it manifests in anxiety. ive had depression and anxiety since i was a teenager as well. ive tried every fucking med you can imagine. BENZOS work but they scare me. LYRICA works but you cant take it every day.
that is what i know, and from that im deducing that i can take lyrica 2-3 weeks out of the month and for the remainder take a low dose of klonopin. if anyone has any advice for something more effective and safer, please do let me know.
i think i should be fine in that i wont be taking a benzo everyday and that the lyrica REALLy does work and i love it, i just need time to allow it to work; i prefer it to benzos and the only reason im considering a benzo is because i cant take lyrica everyday. even typing this i feel like my IQ has dropped 40 points. i just feel stupid. i know this is a side effect of both neurontin and lyrica.
its gotten to the point where i need help. i have major life decisions to make and i cant do it while feeling like im freaking out 247 and cant spell my name!
fuck, i am all over the place. i really need to get this under control.
