I tried lyrica.... I was running into walls I was so tired and dizzy. My docs took me off it right away. I know it needs to build up in the system for awhile to work and the side effects to lessen (sometimes up to a month or more) but if it doesn't work for you don't give up hope there are tons of other things. Also know that for some it is finding the right combo of drugs, and for others nothing works but narcs (like me). But there are times when I don't take anything. If you have only been dx for a short time now is the time to be really proactive (and active). Your body will tell you not to move and to rest but that is the worst thing you can do. I did that and it took me months to build up to any kind of functional level, and the longer you go the worst it gets! Good luck with the lyrica and I hope this finds you at a low pain day!
