OK - I am pretty frustrated with this lyrica. This is my 2nd try at it. On it for over 2 months 400 mg. a day. I must say that my back pain is improved. However, that could or could not be related to lyrica as it seems to have brief periods of remission. It has done nothing for my TMj pain or facial muscle pain thus I suspect the lesser back pain is just a coincidence.
I just lost 30 pounds and now put back on at least 10 of it thanks to the lyrica. Dr. wants me to continue it anyway. ZI am unable to walk or exercise so this is a double whammy.
I know people on 700 - 900 . I have never found a drug for pain relief - tried 40 at highest doses.
Do you need blood work for lyrica? When should you get it?
I have terrible veins and the BW triggers of FM pain in arm.
