lyrica? and my medical condition

I was told i was taking lidocaine but i've been given lyrica. I do not like the idea of this at ALL.

Lidocaine doesn't affect the brain. It's localized. Lyrica is used for seizures and stuff and SLOWS down electrical impulses in the brain, which includes every impulse needed for writing, creativity, and communication. I don't like any kind of medication that acts like Dopamax and slows your BRAIN down as a preventive to ANYTHING.

But I said I'd try it, because I'm in a lot of pain and I'm curious. I do not believe I would take this long term at ALL, because of the facts I've just now read up on. I had to pull out my computer and look it up really fast before I'd even take it.

How did this go from lidocaine to Lyrica? this is something I believe my mother once wanted me to try, and if I look into it more and find out that's true, no thank you.

My stomach is having gastrointestinal problems again. I hope it stops or I might have problems with my stomach.

I'm being given antibiotics for systemic yeast. Which I needed, because my tinneous versicolor was spreading all over again, and I got this when Dr. Butler refused to treat thrush in me and my son. So they're giving me something now to treat it and I don't know how they knew I had a yeast problem unless they did studies on the contents of the retained products in my uterus and found I had this infection.

I am pretty sure this is the medication my mother wanted me to try. I'm wondering why Flexeril and Lyrica are popping up with familiarity.

I tried it and don't think it did much. I still have pain. I also, as I said, don't want to take something that anyone can read about and conclude uses slowing of the brain to effect results for the various symptoms of seizure and stuff. ANY medication used to treat seizures, targets brain cell neuron firing activity and to eliminate risk, the medications purposefully SLOW down brain activity so seizures never have a chance to start. This is also done for migraines, because over-activity is believed to trigger migraine.

I fail to see how SLOWING ONES BRAIN down is good for anyone, in the long run, unless you have severe epilepsy that cannot be controlled other ways. I don't think I'd choose a slower brain in order to have a little pain relief. I think I'd choose a better pain reliever that doesn't affect my brain in this way and still targets the pain.

I also believe marijuana for migraine prevention is far superior to something that slows down the brain and must be taken on a daily basis. I have had to use such minimal amounts of weed for migraine prevention that it doesn't even register on urine tests. Not only that, taking a couple puffs of a joint every month is much, much, more temporary in the effects on the brain than taking something like lyrica everyday.

Right now I'm in severe pain. I'm bleeding too, for the first time since the surgery. It's 12:15 p.m. EST.

Oh, by the way, I wasn't getting enough pain relief so I smoked a couple of puffs in a hospital bathroom to see if it helped and it didn't. It really did nothing for my acute pain. I think the only thing it's good for, for me, is migraine prevention.

My stomach and back really hurt right now so if the lyrica works, it's run out already or I'm just past due for the Percocet. Just took two Percocet but the pain is pretty bad right now and radiating to my thighs. I'm waiting for it to take effect.

Listening to music on the arts channel since I can't get music by computer. It's the iTV3 MCPS Arts station. All classical. Just heard a Wagner operatic piece by Bridget Nilson,
