I was diagnosed with RSD 3 months ago after a 5 level lumbar laminectomy (my surgeon dismissed me when I went to him with my RSD pain, He said his surgery was successfull, and I had to go figure out my pain myself). Anyway, he was the first to put me on 75mg Lyrica twice daily. Yeah, first time I took it I was stoned for days. Over the next 3 months I was slowly increased to 200 mg twice daily, and I also gained 30-40 pounds. Yesterday I was taken off of it (cold turkey - hope this isnt a problem cause I know have a migraine) and put on Cymbalta. Hope this works better.
