Hi, I took it for 6 weeks. It worked wonders for the PN pain. But it totally messed with my personality/mind.
I spent those 6 weeks, *not* enjoying being pain free, walking outdoors, doing things that I haven't been able to for 8 years, but sitting inside my house smoking cigarettes and not talking to anyone.
At the end of 6 weeks, people asked me where I had been because NO_ONE had seen me out and about. They thought I left town.
I am not a hermit by nature.
But I wanted this med to work so bad I kept taking it for those 6 weeks. I played with the dosage so don't remember the exact doses. But every time I brought the dose down enough so that I felt more like myself, the pain returned.

I gave up on Lyrica after that.
