I have had to struggle with my weight my whole life, so this is quite disheartening for me. I just hope the Lyrica works as well for me and I don't create a monster!!
My family Doctor had me on Gabapentin 100mg 3 times daily. My symptoms continued tremors, trembling, weakness, balance etc.
Searching medical sites I found that the standard dosage of Gabapentin was 1200 to 1800mg. daily.
My Doctor agreed and started me 1200mg. about 2 weeks ago.
I also take Clonazapam 0.5mg as required, As there is some thought medically that it works with Gabapentin. I will take anything that has merit.
I do feel some changes for the better. My Wife says she is getting her Husband back.
My mood has improved, but trembling occurs if doing keyboarding, or anything using fine motor skills.
Outdoors I use a cane to help me from falling. If I fall and there is nothing close at hand to pull myself up, then I am in trouble.
Hope this helps someone. Ane the best of luck n 2011.
David.
