Comparing Fentanyl vs Pregabalin

For Pain: Been using Mallinkrodt 100mcg fentanyl effectively for almost 10 years. Around April/May pharmacy said could no longer get Mallinkrodt and the other brands did not work. What is issue with Mallinkrodt. Without Mallinkrodt pain Is at 7-9 out of 10

For Pain: I have been on Mylan brand fentynal for 15 years. My Dr changed at my clinic, he doesn't like patches for pain, took me off of them. After over 2 months of trying other pain meds my PA wisely is putting me back on. I have had little issues with the patch. I have learned to cover them with transdermal patch to make sure they stay on. I am given Butrans transdermal to help with the highs and lows. I like the fact for me fentynal doesn't upset my stomach, doesn't make me tired, or make me feel high. For me Mylan brand is the way to go. I have tried others only to have allergic reaction or no pain control. My Dr puts Mylan brand only on script, forcing pharmacy and insurance to keep providing them.

For Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Not sure if it's too early be be sharing my experience with Lyrica, but there are some important things you should know. I started about a week ago with 75mgX2 one in the morning and one in the evening. I also take 150mg Effexor and 15mg Remeron, both in the evening. The Pregabalin was stronger than I expected (I'm a big man 120kg) and I experienced some dizziness. When I drank 3 beers (3x 0.5 Ltrs) one evening I had some heavy suicidal thoughts the next morning. I stopped taking Lyrica after 3 days because of the suicidal thoughts, On the fifth day, due to my intense anxiety, I decided to take just 75mg in the mornings and cut out all alcohol. This seems to have worked in as much as I have far less anxiety and are more social, but it too early to say. The other side effect I experience is over eating. I suggest you begin with the lowest dose of this drug as you never know what to expect. Merry Christmas and a HAPPY 2020.

For Generalized Anxiety Disorder: I have been crippled with anxiety and panic attacks for 14 years and I’m only 28. I ended up being pretty housebound as I couldn’t take the train or car without feeling absolute terror. I have tried fluoxetine, citalopram, propranolol and diazepam and none of them worked much. I went and saw a private doctor about my anxiety. I started on a low dose of 50mg twice a day. All I felt was tired and I got a few headaches. Then I upped it to 100mg twice a day and I’ve been on that for about a month now and I can honestly say I feel so much better. Initially I thought it might be the placebo effect but I put myself in situations where I would often usually get extreme anxiety and I didn’t get a panic attack. I still felt nervous because it doesn’t take away everything but the adrenaline & fight or flight didn’t happen it was just in the background. I was worried about all the negative comments on this forum but thought I would try it any way and I’m so pleased I did.
