I’m in agony constantly I’ve had antidepressants changed my lyrica increased and still..solpadol just isn’t cutting it with the pain. My doctor won’t give anything stronger because I’m only 21 and she said she doesn’t like to give strong painkillers to young people. She obviously thinks I’m pretending to be in so much pain. I’m so depressed over it

I take loads of pain killers and the pregabalin 150 mg 3 times a day and the best I get is 20 to 35% lower pain for about 3 hrs

Lyrica helped me gain weight too. I'm on a low dose of oxycodone and have a great pain doctor. I take the meds strictly as prescribed and I go through hoops to get it because they're very careful but I'm grateful for that. They count my pills once a month, made me take two classes on the dangers of opioids, do random urine testing, and have me see a therapist at least once a year to access my addiction possibilities. If you could find a doctor that would be that careful and good at understanding fibromyalgia you might get some relief. I also take Gabapentin.

Unfortunately Lyrica only helped me gain 50 pounds in 2 months. You need to try it though a lot of people have success with it

Opiates do nothing for my nerve pain. I so wish they did. Lyrica helps tremendously.

I disagree. Without my Norco I can’t function. The truth of the matter is that when you really have pain the Norco dies NOT get you high
