A slightly happier update
Just thought since my last post was such a downer, I should post a more recent update. The doc agreed with me that it was probably the Lyrica triggering my sudden onset of ever increasing anxiety, and when he lowered the dose back to 75 mg it gradually lessened. It hasn't gone away completely, but close enough to be barely noticable unless something actually stressful occurs, or at night. Having a hard time sleeping since they lowered the dose. It's weird, and tonight I tried going to bed early so in case I still took hours to fall asleep maybe I'd still be asleep before 1 am, but actually woke up drenched in sweat at 10:30 or so.
That's OK tho, I will eventually get to sleep, and I believe eventually my system will get back on par. I'm disappointed the Lyrica didn't work out for me. I had high hopes, but being constantly on the verge of an anxiety attack is no way to live. It's just not worth it since I saw no positive results that I could tell. In fact, if anything I'm in less pain on less Lyrica than I was with more. Waiting for my next doctor appointment to sort out what the next step is. I know the doc is looking into another possible treatment, and if that doesn't work she promised me we could go back to getting all the toxins out of my system including the perscription drugs.
I'm curious, is there anyone else here who has consistantly had every treatment doctors suggested fail, and finds themselves hyper sensitive to various toxins being in your body including medicine?
