Give the Lyrica another 2-4 weeks. It takes a bit of time for the body to adjust to these PN drugs that have to be working in your system 24/7.
If it still makes you feel 'weird', you may have to search for another drug.

Depression, anxiety, isolation, pity - are all feelings we've had to go thru as part of the realization that we have a chronic disease/condition. I've found that acceptance of the fact, plays a major role in my emotional attitude.
I do not fight it- it is a fact - non negotiable. I can search for as much info and try to get the latest in meds and therapy info as possible. We can dig deep to try to find a 'cause' (if it is ideopathic). We do not have to take it 'lying down'.
But we do have to accept it. Just as if it were an accident and we were permanently incapacitated in some ways. Just as inevitable as a diagnosis of diabetes.
Once we doo that, it seems that we can get on with our lives and develop a plan of how to live with it, and how we are going to live.
