Tapering the Effexor, supposed to stop the Darvocet. He wants me to go on Lyrica, which I know you just had a blast with. I honestly haven't decided whether or not I'm going to take it, but I am tapering off the Effexor because I want to know if it's worth taking it or not. The pain is returning even with it, so I'm trying to get a baseline.

Please tell me again why you went off Lyrica.

It worked well for I think fatigue, muscle cramps and nerve pain, which were my problems. I definitely have the fluey feeling symptoms without it and the keppra has left me even MORE fatigued (it is not an exaggeration to say I can barely walk across the room, I"m falling down a lot because my legs are giving out on me and if I stand up for 30 minutes ironing I need to sit down and do nothing for an hour to recover. This is theoretically a side effect of the keppra which will diminish. I hope it is a side effect and that it will diminish, because if it's the disease, I'd rather be in pain. You can do stuff in pain, you can't do stuff if you can't do stuff ( ... )
