Hi. I was on Lyrica for a short time. The isue with me is they started me off way to high and I couldn't tolerate it. I went to neurontin but couldn't tolerate a high enough amount and felt like my head was going to explode.Did you talk to your gp about maybe another med to work in combo? I was on tramadol which did nothing in combo with the other meds. It does amaze me from the forum responses and even what I have got from doc. There always so suprised with the reactions that many of us seem to have. I keep hearing it shouldn't happen but it does so I don't get it. Its hard enough dealing with pain but then to feel bad in other ways is frustrating and scary. Take care
