Taken many years now is not enough as pain is worse. Doc added Lyrica... Oh My!!! My first day after am and pm doses I woke the next day feeling absolutely no pain !!! Feel little weird but I can focus better, type accurate, feel very calm inside...
I have heard many people suffer from side effects...Please share them with me. I have never in my life experienced any side effects from any of my meds. I am lucky.
Thanks, Indybizgal

I've just started taking Lyrica two weeks ago (changed from Neurontin). I can definately tell that I have less burning/pain with the Lyrica. My pain level is about a 1 or 2 down from 4s and 5s. However, my hands feel strange when taking it. I am noticing a bit of swellling and some stiffness in my hands. Other than that it's working well. Oddly enough, my doc took we off the neurontin becasue of weight gain. I'm reading in these threads that Lyrica can have the same effect as Neurontin!! Go figure...
