Magnate

De just started a week ago and the first days she had great decrease in burning and shooting pain. But makes her groggy.
I was reading an insert tonight of the pros and side effects. She is on the lowest dose of I think 25 mgs. Had a lot of bad news with SSRI's and neurontin so watching things closely. Di |

Di, Yes I am on it. Have been since Feb2005. I am now on 300mg in a morning and 400mg at night (yes this is above the top dose). I had decrease in the shooting, pricking pains too. Made me groggy, then improved as got used to it. THis happened each time dose increased. I used to have a nap after the morning dose, but that is no ba thing.
Don't know what else to tell you....Brain like sieve ....just ask. Love Helen. BTW - makes you snack is what I found...so put on weight. |

Law and I were talking about it yesterday. She is taking it. Maybe you can p.m. her?
O.T. Does De have a Medtronic pump by chance?? Wierd question I know, but there is a woman on the "Pumpsters" forum named De that I thought might be your daughter...Just curious... Give her my best and I pray she is doing better .... Warm Hugs!! G~ |

FWIW, I am on Lyrica 225mg twice daily. It has reduced neuro-type pain for me. Dave

In Remembrance

I take it 3 times per day, and I attribute it to bringing down that "suicide pain" that used to plague me regularly.
However, it is known for weight gain, and sure enough, with my body chemistry, after I lost 25 lbs. with Topomax, I gained 35 with this Lyrica. Quite a bummer. Doesn't make me sleepy. Really does help with peripheral nerve pain and nerve pain in general. (Doesn't do it for bone or muscle pain of fibro, though.) |
