neuropathic pain
"On narcotics, muscle relaxers for neuropathic pain from inoperable herniated discs, arthritis in back.  Narcotics cut in half by doctor and prescribed Lyrica, 75mg once at night, then 75mg am and pm and on til taking 150mg am, pm.  Nothing.  Today an additional 75 mg to be added midday.  
Decided to check here before taking more.  Wow.  I have had left hand/arm jerks where my arm just flies up, once throwing iPad mini across the room, another time scatting nuts everywhere while chopping them.  I now realize this condition started with Lyric and gets worse with increased dosage.
I am going to slowly stop this drug because  a) it does nothing for pain, and b) what has it done to my brain?"
