Here is my story. PN for 1.5 years. Lyrica for that time. I have not gained weight and it has not produced dental issues. I am on 100 mg in the evening. Yes, upon occasion it has made my feel "high" or spacey. It comes and goes and I try to just work anyway. But I wouldn't be sleeping without out due to the pins and needles. I would love to heal and get off of it but at present try to be grateful I found something that works with so few side effects.

Good luck to you in your med search.
