I couldnt sleep for days, not even with my sleeping pills, while on it. I stopped taking it the 2nd week. Value the sleep I do get.

You get tremendous weight gain. I didn't feel it helped. I gained 50 lbs.

When I was put on Lyrica it really helped get rid of my nerve pain. However, I also gained 30 pounds in about a month. But everyone reacts different and when it comes to excruciating daily pain, try until you find something that works for you. Good luck hun.

@Fibomate the same thing happened with me n tramadol. I thought it wasnt working for me anymore. I told my dr I wanted to try something else. When I weaned off, I realized how much it was working, n went back on.

Well I guess I might have to backtrack my answer!! I have been off the Lyrica for a week now and my pain is the worst it's been in a year and a half!! I didn't think Lyrica was doing anything for me anymore but maybe it was?? I will be visiting my doctor tomorrow to see if he thinks I should start it up again! I absolutely hate life like this!!
