A call to your doctor or pharmacist should get you an answer to that. Doc

I'm surprised he did't put you on a higher dosage of Lyrica. I'm on 150mg per day, and that seems to work well for me. At first I felt a bit "loopy" on the Lyrica, but that has worn off and I don't feel like that anymore. I don't have ANY side effects from it.
I hope you can up your dosage of it soon. It should work better on the higher dosage. God bless & best of luck. Hugs, Lee PS: by the way, I'm still on the Topamax, 400mg per day.
