Re: Lyrica update..... really what I expected

[Guest guest]

Debra, My doctor gradually increased my Lyrica until I felt that the

improvement stopped. I am now taking 225 mg twice a day which he

says in the maximum dosage. I am definitely not pain free but much,

much better than I was before starting it. So far I haven't had any

of the side effects others have mentioned. I'm thankful for the

improvement that I have and feel like life is manageable for me.

Good luck with managing your Lyrica dosages.

some, but as I expected, the dose will need to be increased from the

75mg twice a day. I do hope that with a dose increase it will STAY

effective enough.

I'm on 400mg/day and although I know it helps, I am still in pain and I don't

feel cured. I'm wondering just how high I have to go to get sustained relief.

Don't get me wrong, I still think it takes the edge off but I don't feel " cured "

like I did at first.

Debra,

When I started Lyrica,I was on 75mg 2x a day. It did seem to help but

the relief didnt last long. My doctor increased my dose to 100mg

3xdaily. I can feel the difference. I think as with all meds our bodys

adjust and we have to have a different dosage.

Be Blessed,
