If anyone here is taking Lyrica how do you space the dosage?
Today I am supposed to go from 2x 100 mg capsules a day to three 100 mg caps. I have been taking two a day, one at 7am and one a 1pm. I was going to take the third at 7pm. I have other medication to take at bedtime (Trazodone) so I do not want to take this and Lyrica together. My GP has not specified any particular times to take the capsules. Any suggestions?

Hello Lupin,
Take the Lyrica on a schedule that is convenient for you and easy to maintain. I now take 100mg Lyrica, 100mg Tramadol at 9am,3pm,9pm. Yesterday I started taking Cymbalata at 9am. Fortunately for me the PN is confined (so far) to my feet and legs but the dosage of medication is increasing. There is another substance that can be used that beats all three, but here in the U.S. its a big no,no. (maybe because its free) |

I've been taking Lyrica for 1 1/2 years and take it in 3 doses of 200 mgs each, per day. Lyrica is supposed to last for 6-8 hours per dose.
I take it at 8 am, 4pm, and 11 pm (bedtime is around 12 midnite). I also take Tramadol 100mgs,4x day the same times as Lyrica with an additional dose around noon-1pm. I try to hold off on doses if I really feel that I can on any particular day, but never skip a dose, or my feet start to 'talk to me' and complain severely.
