Question:
Anyone taking Lyrica for peripheral neuropahthy and pain of fibromyalgia??
Doc wants me to try for muscle pain
Answer:
I was on Lyrica for about 6 weeks also. At first, I saw no improvement
so after 2 weeks, the doctor raised my dosage. I took 75 MG in the
morning and 150 MG at night. Once I got past the initial 3 days of
barely being able to walk, talk or stay awake, my body got used to the
medicine and eventually I didn't even notice any side effects from it
at all. Though it didn't keep my pain away completely, it did help
quite a bit. The only reason I stopped taking it is because I have
since found an alternate type of treatment I am trying out and didn't
want to do them both at the same time.
I've tried a lot of different medicine's for FMS, and so far the Lyrica
is the only one that has helped me in any way, other than regular pain
medicine.
