Interesting article. Weight gain definitely a factor. Sleepiness and dizziness, not so sure of since I have insomnia. Pain relief definitely not and that is working in conjunction with Cymbalta 90mg.

They give me Lyrica also for another vantage point. I have seizures and they figure "why not kill two birds with one stone". But I am on another anti-seizure medicine and would love to get off of the Lyrica. It just doesn't seem to be helping.

My doc is aware of how much pain I am in and every time I call or bring it up, he just raises my dosage of Lyrica.

What to do???
