1. It says to not drive until you know how lyrica effects you --- I am wondering how long should I give it before I can assume any side effects that would happen have happened? Or in other words people who have taken Lyrica if you had side effects how quickly did they appear? (I just want to make sure I am safe!)

- When I started Cymbalta (stopped since) my first side effects didn't hit until over 12 hours after my first dose and then they were brutal.

2. How long does it take Lyrica to become effective?

Thanks!
