Hi NurseN
Are you still taking lyrica? What are your side effects if any? Did you gain weight.. I started taking lyrica 19 days ago and can not get higher then 50 mgs /day. The dose is to low to even touch my nerve pain. It causes anxiety and some irritablity. Unforntly it dosent cause drowsiness, that would be helpful since I have insomnia. (can not sleep with pain)
. I may stop taking it soon. My doctor gave me ultram (tramadol I think). What dose helps your pain. Sorry for al lthe questions. Thank you in advance for any help!
