What Other Medications Should I Try Since I Am Going Off Of Lyrica? Can't Take Gabapentin Or Cymbalta.
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am going off of Lyrica. I'm down to taking only one 150 MG capsule a day. I also take Nortriptylline 50 MG a day. I have tried Gabapentin and Cymbalta with no luck. Uncertain what to try next. Lyrica make my vision blurry and my hands and ankles swell. That is the reason I am going off of it finally. Been taking it for years and just got tired of blurry vision. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you all so much. Many hugs.

I know that vitamins and supplements can be expensive, so I always buy them on sale, usually when they are Buy one-Get one Free. God Bless.

Ginger is now working for me. Helps with the stiffness.. and takes the edge off.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU rozebudd62! Have you ever tried spices and herbs like Tumeric Curcumin pill form and foods that fight inflammation? Inflammation is the cause of most of our health issues and pain. There is so much information online for free to help you. It's really worth your time. I don't give the Pharmaceutical companies the power to rule my health and ruin my body. Good luck my friend and be well!

I see you are looking for medications, but have you thought about other treatment. Eg. vitamins that help nerve pain, essential oils and so on?

@ rozebudd62, You are always so kind and understanding. "One More *Lyrica To Go." That's GREAT news! :-) And stopping all the day before your birthday? What a nice birthday present! "Bye, *Lyrica!"
Today I was quietly thinking: "I'll be feeling too much better by the time of "pain management appointment." Thankfully, I've improved. But I'll still like to have some pain pills. To me, it sounds like I'm seeing a very intelligent person. That's all I can say. I just feel this. Keep in touch, My Sister. :-) Agape.
