In my opinion the lisinopril and ms contin (morphine) and the lisinopril and lyrica may cause some problems at the beginning of treatment, but if you've been on that combo for awhile I would say its nothing to be concerned about. All the other medication side effects such as dizziness and drowsiness would be increased. From my experience with switching medications - I do get anxiety, but it subsides after a short time once my body gets use to the new medication.
Thanks for the reply.im just so tired&wore out tht im fatiqued to the point of being passed havin chronic fatique syn.i cnt sleep at nite.i just dnt no wht to do.how long wil does it usually tak for methodone to get outa u&for ms contin er start to work&the anxiety subside? Sorry so many ?
I understand you being so frustrated as lack of sleep does make everything worse. I am sorry you are going through all this. I wish you the best.
Just a thought for sleep - I have found for myself 200 mg trazodone works better than any number milligrams of temazepam. I used temazepam for quite awhile and it only worked in the beginning, but after awhile my insomnia was back.

Upping the dose of celexa might help you. Sorry I missed it in your list.
