I don’t know if this is going to work.

The meds they have me on since my heart attack make me endlessly tired. I can certainly feel for you.

I’d call the office and tell them you can’t stay awake, and ask if there’s a lower dose. If it’s not helping the pain that much you might want to ask for something else. The sad thing is you might find better relief from the fibromyalgia pain with lidocaine patches; however, (a) they’re expensive, and (b) medical insurance won’t cover them because they’re only “approved” to treat shingles. (How’d you like to slap an adhesive patch on a shingles scar? ) However, the lidocaine ointment (which the VA has switched me to) might be something to try. It certainly won’t make you sleepy!

I sure hope you can get adjusted and that the med will help you. Maybe your heart doc will have some advice.

I hope the cardiologist is able to help with that question. I don't have any idea but maybe a pharmacist would be knowledgeable. I'm sure it will take a little bit of time for it to start working

I have no idea, but I hope your cardiologist can answers.

That's a dilemma for sure. Maybe 30 days? I don't really know anyone on Lyrica.

We aren't doctors here. I think asking the pharmacist is a good idea, because you never know how soon it will be until the doctor calls you back.

I really don't know. You should have asked him when he gave you the prescription. Or talk to your pharmacist about it.

I hope it stops soon

I was once suffering from hallucination once and the doctor prescribed medicine for the nerves. I felt drowsy the whole day even after sleeping for long hours.

I wish I knew, but that's a tough question...hopefully someone else can help more

I know you have really been struggling with this. I truly hope you can get some answers, Amber.
