Lyrica with Methadone for extreme chronic pain?




Hey guys… i have severe chonic pain from a number of issues. I have fibromyalgia that was caused by Lymes Disease that is now neurological because i’ve had it for so long and didnt even know it ( 3+ years). Anyway it was hard because i am only 24 yrs old, and lots of doctors don’t treat 24 yr olds seriously when they complain of extreme pain and can’t find out why. Which was wonderful.
Anyway i’ve been working with a great doctor for the past 7 months or so, and he put me on methadone. Started at 40mgs and inched it up 5mgs until i reached a comfortable dosage.. which endedup being about 100.
That was fine for a couple of months… but even DESPITE the methadone i am still in extreme pain… all the time. I can’t even walk more than a few blocks cuz i start crying and have to have a wheelchair for times when its necessary. There are literally EIGHT pages of symptoms for neurological lymes… and i have about 87%… check out the link:

Anyways i asked him if any medications can work WITH methadone to help further with pain ( cuz i DONT want to be put on oxycontin or percocet or anything like that…. no way), and he is now going to be putting me on Lyrica. Also, Abilify 5mgs for the severe mood swings and anxiety.
Does anyone have any experience with this, and can maybe tell me a little bit more? Will it work? What side effects should i expect at first? Any information would be helpful… thanks…
