Anyone care to share about Lyrica journeys?
carolynpolack
Hi anyone and everyone,
I am a new user to Lyrica and would really appreciate any sharers to my questions about: does it get into your system quickly sometimes? Maybe it's a psychological effect that I feel less nerve pain after 4 doses of 50mg. Also, if you have a really good metabolism and work out regularly, will it counteract the common side effect of weight gain? Do some people in general NOT gain weight on it?
Oh, a little history. I have osteoarthritis and multi level degenerative disc disease throughout my neck, with nerve compression in and around the area that had gotten much worse and more wide spread in the last months. Not a classic fibro patient, but found out from MD that the nerves could definitely be way out of control, causing much pain, and needed to be calmed down. Suggested Lyrica - after Cymbalta. (taking both)
All the best, and glad to be a part of all this. Please advise/share!
Carolyn
