Default Lyrica side effects.....................

Hi all, I am sooooooo tired it is not funny. I am sleeping great at night which is a miracle. (also have MG/MS and the prednisone wouldn't let me sleep for several years) However, I am totally snowed all day long too!! I started on 50 at hs and added another 50 in the AM the following week. But I was sleeping prob 20 hours a day. I'd sit still and wake up hours later. So I have held the AM dose and seen some improvement. Has anyone else dealt with this?? Of course the pain and burning are returning. sigh. But still nothing like it was without any lyrica at all. Without any i had spasms/cramps/pain that I have never had before!! So am glad it is not there. I can live with what I have now. I have a good pain tolerance, so that helps. How many choose to accept some pain as opposed to being slammed with side effects?? As I said the night time sleep has been great, but hte day time I can't do!! Go back to see the doc in a week or so.
Thanks in advance
Deb
