How long does it take for Lyrica to start working? I've only been on it for a few days. Also, what other pain relievers can I safely take while taking Lyrica? Can I take a muscle relaxer, specifically Skelaxin or Flexeril? Thanks for any info.

Lyrica may take up to 2 weeks to work. If it is like its sister drug Neurontin it needs to build up.
As for other meds, that is for your doc to decide. I know that I am on 6 meds and they work very well together for the most part. Talk to your doc. I would say that Skelaxin or Flexeril would be fine. Those are minor relaxants. They didn't work for me but good luck to you!
