Hi Tracy,
I like you, suffer from Nerve pain and have terrible reactions to strong pain medications. I was prescribed Lyrica which I took but I needed to stop as it not only made me spacy it also made me extremely anxious and panicked to the point that I needed to speak to a Psychologist the next day as my thought patterns were not healthy. this was very very scary for me and I have been reluctant to try anything else since
I have been on various chemo's for nearly 4 years now and I just live with the pain and take a combined Paracetamol & Ibuprofin from the pharmacy.
I know everyone reacts differently and some medications take awhile for your system to get used to so good luck with it .
