IT DID! It took 2-3 weeks and withdrawal's but I feel like a new man. I decrease my dosage by 2/3. I went through major withdrawal issues doing this.

Lyrica will cause many issues concerning sexual desire, delayed ejaculation and .......

I feel like a man again. I hurt but the bed is hopping again at 54. LOL

Freebird, I thought all men at your age had those problems.......lol

But seriously, why cut down on pain med...? Is it worth the trade off..??? Havent you ever hear of Levitra, cialis, viagra....maybe tooth picks and duct tape to splint it....lol.

Actually, The decrease dosage of Lyrica has had little little effect on my pain. I feel now my dosage was just to high.

Because of my pain level, My Doctor raised the dosage of Lyrica instead of a Narcotic because he say's that drugs like Lyrica, Celebrex are the "good" drugs. I still take Lyrica,Celebrex,Vicodin and wear a Fentanyl Patch and Ambien at night.

Viagra or Levitra does no good when the drive is not there. Lyrica suppressed my desire big time.

Popsicle sticks? OUCH. Anyway, I would need wooden school ruler's.....
