I have severe fibromyalgia and lately my flares seem to be running into each other. I also am bipolar and believe me the two don't play nice. It sometimes feels like I have to deal with double the depression. My new GP really wants me to try Lyrica. As my current drug cocktail is barely working, my fear of starting any new drug is rearing its ugly head.
Relief from pain and stiffness would be wonderful, but I'm barely holding my own right now. Physical side effects such as nausea, headache I can handle..it's the anxiety, lightheaded feelings, cognitive stuff that I just can't deal with right now.
Can anyone tell me of their experiences with Lyrica? Or hold my hand while I take the first dose?
