ive been sleeping for the last 3 days straight. this is what happens when i do not take my lyrica. i need to get to a dr so i can get on a small dose of klonopin for 1 week out of the month. i cant even go 3 days without taking lyrica or i feel miserable. like no physical wd but i just feel horribly irritable, depressed, anxious. i basically stay in bed and sleep - no showering or eating.

so, i guess if its this bad i need to make an appnt for tomorrow. this blows.
 
I'm sorry you're feeling so shitty. But, I'm glad to have read your post. My doctor just put me on Lyrica 3 days ago and tonight I told him I think I'd rather go with my old depression/anxiety control drug Wellbutrin. Frankly, after reading the side effects of Lyrica (the common ones no less) such as weight gain, decrease or loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, etc. I wasn't too encouraged. I initially liked the idea that it was designed to be a stronger version of Neurontin (which helped my social anxiety immensely), but the more I read about Lyrica, the more hesitant I became.

Although it reportedly has a low potential for abuse, if discontinued abruptly, it causes a substantial withdrawal syndrome. Also, after being honest with myself in terms of how severe an addict I am, its potentiating effects on other CNS depressants is something I know I would one day try to benefit from. More problems.

Might it help if you had a two or three day course of clonazepam combined with Lyrica's less potent predecessor Neurontin? I don't know of course as I'm not a doctor. But you're right that you need to go see him. Gather your strength, get out of bed, focus, and get to his office. Good luck.
 
This is really more appropriate for your BL blog, it doesn't generate any discussion (hence the few replies thus far).
