If Lyrica was working for you, I would have a discussion with your new doctor about going back on Lyrica. If it was working, I don't see any reason for taking you off it. I unfortunately developed rare but serious side effects on Lyrica so I'm not able to take it. When I first started Neurotonin, I was sleepy all the time. It took 3 weeks for the sleepiness to wear down to the point I could tolerate being increased, and he started me off on I believe 300mg twice a day.....it's only been 2 years but unfortunately, I really can't remember.
