Hi,

I just started on Lyrica. I am very drug sensitive. I get sedated from 0.5mg of Valium. I also have lots of drug allergies so I was very scared to start it.

I can say it was a very positive experience for me. At first it felt strange because it was very relaxing but it's seems better to me if I take it 30 mins before I go to sleep. Otherwise my body wants to sleep but brain is still ticking over and wants to watch tv heehee

It didn't make me feel mentally out of it like Amitryptiline did. It helped so much with my pain and muscle spasms. I stopped it and got spasms again and pins and needles. I will stay on it because I'm over the pains and twitching and tingling.

I take 25mg and it helped me and I was able to function normally the next day.

Good luck
