It made me sick and did not work the gabapentin is much better for me but everyone is different so it maybe ok for y lyrica. I take the gabapentin three x day 800 mg pills.

Yes, I tried it. It worked well for pain but too many side effects for me. It may help so give it a try. You know meds affect us all differently..

Wow, I could not take gabapentin either. The fact that you lost the ability to walk while on it shows that you are sensitive. You may be a person like me who honesty does not do well on most drugs. I have a hearing problem already and on a very low dose, I started to feel like my head was in an echo chamber. I also noticed that I could not control anger episodes (I started throwing things!) so I got off of gabapentin by the third week. My mother had Alzheimer's so I am afraid of lyrica as I read it causes memory loss and I have never taken it. I feel like I am playing Russian roulette when I try a prescription and I have tried a few.

I have been on lyrica well over 5 years. For me its been a godsend. Minimal side effects and a huge improvememt in my overall condition .

I have tried it 3x at different dosages. It has done squat for me. I know it has helped a lot of people with fibro, I am just not one of them.
