I have been on Lyrica for over 9 months and YES it is rough. Started on 200mg and they have now bumped it up to 600mg. It has helped with the burning and bone pain but I live in a fog. I can't drive due to the dosage. My husband has banned me from any cooking when he is not home and I sometimes can't remember things. When I first started on Lyrica, all I did was sleep. Now I am able to fight the drowsiness and try not to nap all day. I have begged both my Ortho and PM docs to take me off and they refuse. So now I am just along for the ride. Oh, and the weight gain is unbelievable... went from 115 lbs to 136 lbs in 6 months. The hunger pains are crazy!!!!

Lyrica can be a wild ride. Good Luck!
