I went to see my GP today. I told him that I was suffering side effects from the Lyrica (confusion and short term memory loss) and he seemed surprised that I had this as a side effect on 300mg per day (divided into 3 doses per day) he told he that the recommendation from the neurologist at the hospital was 600 mg per day. Does anyone else take 600 a day?

Does anyone else have the confusion side effect (I am on my 5th day of 300 mg) and if so does it wear off over time? I told my GP I could not stand the idea of increasing the dose, at least not yet. I am getting some pain relief with the current dose but not enough to be able to function properly so probably I should tirate (is that the right word?) up to 600 mg per day. I also have tramodol to be taken when needed.

I am still waiting for the hospital appointment for the Evoked Potential tests.

Thanks in advance, you must be sick of me keep coming back with questions but I am still trying to find my way through all this.
