Lyrica: How to augment it?

Posted by Aqeel on August 15, 2009, at 2:42:21

Hi

Lyrica is the only med that works for my anhedonia. I started with 300 mg and now am on 600mg due to tolerance issues.

The med works fine at the moment but I am sure of developing tolerance to this dose too. I don't want to go over 600mg.

Does anyone know how to augment Lyrica? Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
AQ

I have a combo of neurontin(similar to lyrica) and percocet. Good combo. Also use nortriptyline at night (20 mg) works well with the drugs.

I take 150mg/day of Lyrica and also take 30mg of Celexa. It seems to work for me, although at times I do feel a bit edgy or jumpy, but when that happens I take a small dose of Klonopin.

Hi,

I have met with a new doc that suggested a Remeron-Lyrica combo.

Presently I'm on Elavil for sleep, but I want to get off this drug.

I have learnt that Lyrica is a good sleep aid.

So maybe the combination of Remeron and Lyrica could give me a good night's sleep.

Best regards,
X-ray

With that combo you may never waked up. I would consider one or the other, not both.
