Re Lyrica,
I am a 58 yr old PD sufferer who was prescribed Lyrica (90gm daily) for muscle spasm/pain in October 06. Although initially the symptons improved I put on 28lbs in 2 months & after 5 months other benefits were wearing off. I also became drowsy 30 mins after each dose. My alternative started 1 week ago is Amitripyline (10gm daily taken last thing). Pain & spasm are already improving, I don't feel drowsy in the day & I'm starting to lose weight!!!!!
I hope this is of use to you,
Angela
