Cyclobenzaprine and lyrica

Nice enough first part. Sure glad I only paid.... oh never mind.
Must you copy Capote, for the title? I don't know if it's hubris or ignorance. Are you telegraphing a violent finish 💔🔪❓
I'm not familiar with Lyrica but figured it is similar to Ambien.
Gave you 3*s. This ending was very abrupt and probably unnecessary. I mean just post all 10 or 12 pages.
Thanks for the story Carvohi. Good effort.

Yeah, Lyrica can do strange things and using it for the basis of an internal dream sequence is new on Lit. to my knowledge. The back story was largely unnecessary and boring. In many of these types of stories the wronged husband immediately jumps to conclusions and throws his wife out and won't let her explain or even talk at all. He never loses control, never acts rashly, and is the very model of probity, except for throwing his wife overboard like a used Kleenex. Oh, and her parents are invariably sympathetic with him, too. Perhaps this type of story is therapeutic for men who have been cheated on by a wife. One has to wonder, though, if he ever really loved her.

As for everyone else ... life keeps adding on the 'happy' {sarcasm}.
My neurologist decided to prescribe a more powerful tool to manage the pain in my feet. So, he gave me a foot cream. What wasn't obvious was the non-prescribed 'side effects' of the foot cream which included ... (sigh) ...
Well, as my feet have been hurting like sons-a-bitches, I was slathering that cream on three and four times a day. It had minimal positive effect which was leagues ahead of the pain I was going through. Besides, it was foot cream. What was the worse that could happen?
Baclofen (2%) ~ [Lightheadedness or fainting, trouble seeing, severe tiredness, weakness],
Cyclobenzaprine (2%) ~ [Anxiety, restlessness, seeing or hearing things that are not there, severe drowsiness, fainting, or confusion],
Diclofenac (3%) ~ [Sudden or severe headache, or problems with vision, speech, or walking],
Gabapentin (6%) ~ [Behavior problems, aggression, restlessness, trouble concentrating, moodiness (especially in children), problems with coordination, shakiness, unsteadiness, unusual moods, or behaviors, thoughts of hurting yourself, feeling depressed, dizziness, drowsiness, sleepiness, tiredness],
Lidocaine (2%) ~ [which, somewhat stunningly, isn't trying to fuck with my head]
So I've been staggering around in a semi-lucid state for the past several days, unable to figure out why I couldn't do much, if any, writing. It took me complaining to my wife to provide some clarity.
I repeat - it is freaking foot cream!
I've stopped with the foot-crack and am back to dealing with the pain. Hopefully I'll be back to writing soon too.
