I Have been on Lyrica for 3 weeks with greatly reduced leg nerve pain that valium did not touch (had spinal lumbar level 2 fusion with many complications in mid june, was in hosp 10 days instead of 4-5) left me with horrible nerve pain in legs, and overall pain is worse then ever.....and so far only wt loss which began after fusion.......only problem I see is memory loss (short term) and feeling like I just chugged a few shots but when I complain they basically told me to suck it up......that it will get better...and I guess she was right since I drove today!
I am only taking 50mg 3x daily and she wanted me on 399mg by now but I refused and am going at a as tolerated pace!
I wish everyone the best!
