The first night I took lyrica I panicked and went to see my doctor first thing the next morning. .. i went to the toilet in the night and it was like I had drank 2 bottles of wine...i was staggering and sleepy and felt really weird...apparently it's common when u first start it..After a few weeks it went off...over 3 yrs my dose was 225mg a day...its caused random twitches in my body but noticed when I was tired it was worse. ..i was suffering bad with fatigue so doctor suggested coming off and changing to another med...After 6 weeks off coming off my pain has returned...really bad , so the lyrica was doing a great job for that...i have put on another 3 stone while taking it and constantly starving! since I've come off it i never feel hungry ..i can't believe the difference but it was great for the pain relief!

I had to stop Lyrica. It started to cause a lot of cognitive issues for me, I could barely concentrate or do anything right at my job. My job can be very detail oriented, and I was making so many mistakes. I also had a similar issue with Neurontin (gabapentin). They both essentially made my fibro fog a lot worse.

I have been on it for 3 months . Had to cut down to what dr. First prescribed because of loopiness , more brain fog . I have a history of not tolerating medicine well . But this one is ok . Doesnt take all the pain away but does help . Just be careful of the loopiness ( drunken feel) . If you start to feel that take less then prescribed .and tell your Dr. Eat before u take it as well .

I have found Lyrica to be a G- D send. Helped greatly with my diabetic nerve pain and has reduced my fibro nerve pain. Am now taking 300 mg. Daily. Can't imagine my daytime hours without it.

I found lyrica made me dizzy. I was walking like i was drunk on a boat all the time.
