:My daughter - I need help!!!/ Sheila

[Guest guest]

Hi Sheila -- I've been on Lyrica for about two and half months now and it

works so much better for me than the Neurotin did. I am on 100 mg x 3 day.

- 1 with breakfast, one mid-afternoon and one at bedtime. And I am sleeping

much better also. For about a week or so I experienced " some " side effects,

but then my body became adjusted to it. I just could not function taking

the Neurotin. Different meds work differently with different people, but I

am very thankful for the change my doctor made in my meds when I mentioned

the problems I was having with Neurotin. Good luck, Glenda

Hi Debbie, I am almost afraid to increase the Lyrica to 2 pills a day

because I can't imagine taking one in the morning. Right now I take the 1

pill at night before bed and when I get up in the morning I am still dizzy

and light headed for about an hr. or so depending on how much sleep I get.

Did you have any affects from it in the beginning? What dosage did you start

out with? I am asuming that when I go to the 2 pills a day one is to be

taken in the am & pm, not the 2 at night time. I went out and helped my son

do a job yesterday and today I am paying for it. My body hurts all over and

none of my meds has helped so far.
