Guest guest Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Hi, I have been taking Lyrica 75mg, twice a day for about 5 months... I have no weight gain, but I try to stay active too. I don't have complete pain relief yet, the Dr is uping my dose to three times a day soon. On bad Fibro Fog days, I still have the fog, I have pain and suffer from Fibro in a flare... but during the rest of the time I seem to be seeing an improvement... I do drink a lot of water, which may keep the weight down. I also take Cymbalta 60mg once a day, and will be upping that about a month after the Lyrica goes up. so that we can know if there is any adverse effects, and which med is causing it... The first 2 weeks to one month your body is getting used to the new chemical, and learning how to work with it. I had to promise my doctor not to play with the meds by deciding not to take it if I was dizzy, which is part of getting used to it... I don't have dizziness, or any of the side effects, but I stuck it out and feel better on most average days... but as I said, nothing deletes a flare... or the fog. th at would be a pure miracle. I hate Fibro, and being a Fibromite.... I hope that I was of some help. I know of several people on the new med, and like it...
