Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I take it twice a day (100 mg in the morning and 200 mg at night). At first the side effects just floored me. Eventually my body seemed to adjust to that though. I stayed on it because I have a lot less joint pain on it and because it does seem to help me sleep better at night. If it is not working for you, ask your dr about Savella, it doesn't seem to have the side effects but has helped me some with muscle pain. Those sharp pressure point pains don't go away for me with either one. Alia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 The only nice lawn is a dead lawn. Lyrica was an awful drug for me. It was given to me for chronic joint pain. I have Lyme but my main drs wont acknoledge this. I started at 50 mg 1x a day and then after two weeks went up to 75mg 1x a day. I took it at night. Day three of the 75 mg and I could not walk a straight line or speak clearly. It was like I was fall down drunk. I couldn't drive. I had to cancle my sons dentist appointment at the last min. They were not too happy. Try explaining with slured speach that your medication made you " drunk " and you can't drive. Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
