I thought I would add on Lyrica experience to this thread-

I was recently encouraged to go back to my 300mgs a day, though 100 three times a day as opposed to the 150 twice a day in the hopes there will be better coverage. I have had minimal side effects (occassional brain fog- gah, what was that word I was looking for?) While seeing an almost 100% drop in burning feet and electric shocks around my lower calf/ankle area.

I'm better off for taking it. I am lucky that the benefits outweigh the risks. Early on, while starting the medication, the brain fog was more pronounced. All in all I am happy it works as well for me as it does. Gabapentin didn't work well at all for me.

It is easy to say "give it a go" from my couch. Please consider any reasonable method to achieve some relief. I am still in 'no man's land' as far as I am concerned. Until everything is sorted out proper Lyrica is in my life with tramadol to help with joint/muscle/tendon pain and the "supplement/med de jour to try and get some sleep.

My best,

Jon
