Hello, me yet again.

The uro increased my dose to 75mg from 25mg. Sh didnt even realize i was already on the 25mg in the morning. So i look at the new bottle and it says take at bedtime.

well, i thought i would continue to take it during the day. BIG mistake. This is day 2 and im all wacked out. I was fine before i took it.

I feel slooooow, blurry vision, slight dizziness....i was fine on the 25mg no side affects.

its so bad tonite, i cant remember if i took my abx, so looks like i wont be taking that tonite.

this is becoming one big living nightmare......im on so many drugs i dont know what is lyme and what is a drug reaction. Am i herxing or is it a reaction to one of the non lyme drugs.

Im on lyrica 75mg
singulair
difflucan
clonzepam
cedax

My daughter was on Lyrice for about two days. She started have serious shortness of breath. According the info that came with the prescription from the pharmacy, that was a sign of allergy to the medication. I'd suggest reading that drug info real carefully, in light of whatever symptoms you're having.

thanks JB im going to read the drug info.

i could be herxing too.....its just so tough to know...its just too complex sometimes.

I'm on Lyrica 300 mgs/day -- (100 x 3) -- I felt really "drunk" for loss of a better description the first couple times I took it, but then my body adapted and I can function just fine on it now--

We're all different... I've never been very sensitive to drugs or prone to side effects....

Hope the woozies go away for you soon!

yea, i have that drunk feeling. Im never sensitive to meds, all changed since lyme. i hope my body just needs to adapt to the new dosage.

im feeling a lil better now. just stuck with the sleep issue...still awake at 3AM. and still cant recall if i took my abx. [bonk]
