Default Lyrica does not seem to be helping:(

I began taking lyrica about 12 days ago for internal shaking and the burning sensation on the top of my head. At first I thought it was helping some, but now I think I was just being hopeful. The vibrating continues off and on, and the burning has not improved. I thought it may be helping me with spasticity, but it also seems to be worse on some days and better on others as it was in the past. Plus, I now have severe constipation -- one of the possible side effects. I began experience problems with constipation two days after I started taking it. Plus my ankles are a bit swollen.

So I just called my neuro's office to let them know. They will call back eventually. I am trying to decide if I should start tapering off it it or wait until I hear from the doctor.
