I'm so pleased for you! Yes I got relief my first night of just 50mg of Lyrica, which is why I've not upped the dose this time. Long may it last! When I took amitriptyline (first drug I was given for it) it helped within a week, but wore off within three months. So far I've been on this low dose Lyrica for over six months and it's still doing ok

Good luck!

Bram.
