Wow, Lyrica put me in another time and space as well. It was hard to describe, but I did not like 'losing time' like that. I got off it after a couple of weeks of that.
My PM doctor tried me on amytriptiline (spelling?) to help reduce the pain as well, but it gave me horrible nightmares. Of course she didn't warn me about that, but finished my sentence for me when I went in for an assessment after she prescribed them. "How are they working?" "Awful, I said, I am awake all night because..." "...of nightmares?", she said. A rare side effect, apparently, but I was one of the lucky ones, again.
Is anyone aware of a toxic buildup from these drugs? They are simply chemicals, after all. I am starting to feel like a farmer's field that has had too many loads of fertilizer...take that any way you like
