I always make sure to write down any symptoms I may be having as the result of new meds...definitely sounds as though this one may be having an effect on you. Not sure how long you have been on it...some meds that caused side effects like sleepiness or whatever leveled out after a week and no more symptoms. Lyrica helped me the most but for the first 3 days I was on it, it knocked me OUT. But then after that I was fine with it. If the side effects are too much or not something you are comfortable with...call the doctor's office and let them know...and they will speak to the doctor and find out if he wants you to stop taking the med or if he wants to call in another one to your pharmacy or if he has any recommendations for lessening the effects (take it with food, lower the dose, take it in the morning only, etc).
