Is Lyrica Medicine Suggestible For Back Pain And Insomnia?

default
Posted on Fri, 16 May 2014
Question: I am interested in purchasing lyrica or a generic. I have tried numerous pain killers and found none to address my problems with chronic joint/back pain and inability to sleep. Right now I am on pyroxicam, ibuprofin and acetominephin. They help a little but no much.

Brief Answer:
You can try lyrica

Detailed Answer:
hello,
I have read your case and I think you are having too many diseases and when some body take painkillers for such a long time, they stopped acting. I have studiied your pain killeres and I think you are taking same type of pain killers for long time. Basically we have three sets of pain killer.
1. NSAID like Brufen, voveron
2. opioids like tramadol, codeine , oxycodone
3. anxiolytics like Amytryptalin and lyrica
I would suggest you to take combination of these three group rather then taking two medicines from same group. At present if you would be my patient I would have advised you lyrica, Brufen and tramadol.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if you have any other question. Thanks and take care.

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir,
As per rules of e medicine prescription can not be given. I have suggested you these drugs. None of them has any abuse potential, so if you contact your doctor you can get them. You can discuss your condition with them and tell them my point of view also. I hope they will right down this prescription to you.
Let me know if you have any difficulty in getting that. Most of these drugs are safe and can be get directly from chemist also.
