Lyrica
 
Do you know much about Lyrica? I started Lyrica 3 wks ago. For 2 weeks I took 75mg/day then about 1 to 1.5 weeks ago I started taking 150 mg/day(double) .Yesterday afternoon I started feeling kind of dizzy. Now, for example, theres some work in the backyard that I want to but I think I'll probally want to just sit or even feel I have to hold on to something. Do you think I am simply on to high a dose? BTW: I didn't take my morning dose of Lyrica (but took my Lamictal. I don't have bad sz's so I'm just sorta looking at it as a missed dose. I know that is wrong but I won't do it more)I callled the Dr awhile ago. His nurse said he was at a meeting & wouldn't be able to call back till after 3:00.

Lyrica
 
My son is on Lyrica, he takes 200mg in the morning and 225 mg at night,when they started uping his dosage, he was worse than any drunk person I have ever seen. He still gets that way at times. Hope all works out well for you.

Lyrica
 
I am on 75mgs twice a day...and when I first started taking it, it caused dizziness, but that has subsided. I was told to give it about a month to settle into your system.
I just adjusted my day after taking the lyrica....relaxing, watching tv, until the side effects subsided.
