In reply to Meds making me stoned--NEED HELP, posted by mindart on January 5, 2008, at 15:25:45
> I have bipolar II and peripheral neuropathy, and I need any info and/or experience people have with taking Lyrica in med cocktail with mood stabilizers, anti-depressant, klonopin. I added Lyrica for the nerve pain. I know I am over-medicated because since adding the Lyrica, I feel stoned for first half of the day and can't work. Lyrica works really well for relieving nerve pain but I'm too spaced out...any suggestions would be appreciated.
>I have lt's of experience w/ Lyrica. What is our dose and how long have you been on it? If it's jsut for sleep, I would take it 1.5-2 hours before bed to avoid some of the hang over. There are "Stoned" like side effects that disappear a little into treatment, but at high doses, I felt stoned and cognitively useless 24/7. Lyrica did that to me... Let me know if ou have any questions about the Lyrica. I know it well.
