I must tell you however that pregabaine was extremely effective for me, one week and 50mg/day did it work, 90% reduction of pain
Involuntary movements and twitching were scary though, I'm still not sure if it's side effect or something else, but they stopped after stopping lyrica
I asked neuro who said that EMG didn't show it either, so I guess it must be the side effect, at least I hope so

Well you have to weigh the side effects and the relief then. For me, there was not enough relief for all the other stuff. my joints stiffened up, my reaction time was slowed, I had a hard time waking up in the morning, I felt like a different person. I wasnt who i wanted to be for my family.
