My mom was recently

My mom was recently precribed 75mg lyrics TID for her firbo with 5/325 oxycodone/apap PRN for the real bad days. I know that lyrics has off label uses such as neurolical pain and it has minor anxiolytic affects.

Lyrica

I was prescribed Lyrica for my fibromyalgia.I didn't notice a difference in my pain level.I went off of the Lyrica and started on Celebrex.I virtually have no pain.I'd say it alleviated about 80% of my pain.I hate the side effects though.I am extremely tired and I can't even look at food.I've lost about 6 pounds in the 2 weeks since I've been on it.I'm hoping the tiredness will go away eventually.I am as of now only taking the Celebrex as needed.I'm not saying that the Lyrica won't help you,everyone's different.I have a friend on it and she loves it.I also take hydrocodone 30/200 3 times a day.
