My computer and I've been 'physically ill', so I, again, apologize if I've left threads w/o following up. Have to call to have my spam removed before my mail will come in. I cannot afford DSL.
I noticed Lyrica thread.
I just started it 'for back pain'.
I've been on oxycodone 10/650 3x a day for a few years.
I'm pretty scared as I 'cut down / DETOX' oxycodone here alone, taking Lyrica 'just 75mg' only @ h.s., as when I took it during day became dizzy and a bit loopy.
Main reason for 'DETOX' is my digestion/ elimination was/has come to nearly a standstill.
By this time of the day, I would have taken my morning dose of oxycodone, and its time for afternoon dose. Well didn't take my morning dose. I'm going to take my regular 2nd dose now. I think that's best. Sort of 'on my own' at this.
No pain yet. Still, must take midday oxycodone dose.
I'm now asking myself re: Lyrica, how do I feel 'emotionally'?
Maybe a little 'clarity of thought'.
I've also switched from Valium back to Xanax 1mg 3x a day or as needed, thinking Valium another culprit in 'slowing down my system'.
Don't find myself 'needing' the Xanax that much :0?; but did take 1mg earlier and just fell asleep. Whoops. Hmmm.
Anyway, re: Lyrica 'killing2birdsw/1stone' ... can't miss this one.
Will give it a good try and maybe an increase.
Don't know when I'll get to read followups.
