I already tried lyrica makes me sleep for 14 hours was on it for 2weeks. It just changes who I am so I decided not to take it. I am on 0 meds. I don't just have shingles pain for shingles is PHN and only in the area that person gets shingles. I have nerve problems all over the place now which I believe was cause by the last attack i had of shingles without the rash. Or perhaps the phn got so bad that it came from it.

I'm not a believer for "lets keep trying different meds" If it get so bad where i know its a whole new attack i end up getting valtrex other then that just deal with it.
