In reply to Meds making me stoned--NEED HELP, posted by mindart on January 5, 2008, at 15:25:45
> I have bipolar II and peripheral neuropathy, and I need any info and/or experience people have with taking Lyrica in med cocktail with mood stabilizers, anti-depressant, klonopin. I added Lyrica for the nerve pain. I know I am over-medicated because since adding the Lyrica, I feel stoned for first half of the day and can't work. Lyrica works really well for relieving nerve pain but I'm too spaced out...any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would guess I would have to say that your are are somewhat blessed in that your meds really work for the neuropathey pain. From friends I know and what I have read, many people try all kinds of things to relieve their neuropathy pain with little success. I may be some what of a whimp -- but I think I would rather feel a little "stoned" and be without the pain.The only suggestion I might put forth, if this is a major problem in your life, is that you might want to look at a product that Mother Dolores Hart (who is a spokesperson for the Neuropathy Assoc.)uses. It is a natural -- topically applied product called Thankful Hands. According to her testimony for the product it has made a major difference in her life.
