Preface, everyone reacts to meds different out of the way? Good.
I was on Lyrica over a year. We moved up, down, around on dosage- we found 100 mg 3x day better coverage than 150 mg x2. 300 feels like/felt like the maximum I could bear side effect wise- any more and I felt driving may have to come off the table.
It cut dymptoms for me, with what short term felt like tolerable side effects. I had no weight gain, but my neuropathy is diabetes related, so I was reluctant to start it. At the end of the day the relief wasn't worth the feeling of dullness I had developed. It felt as if my head were a bean bag chair, put upon by some weight.
My sleep is no better or worse, but boy can I ponder with greater vividness and clarity.
Good luck,
Jon
