Experiences with

Lyrica

I know the Lyrica dose is really low even when taking two tablets . My question is - the highest dose for Lyrica is 300 mg - 450 mg ???? Can I ask is this over a period of hours or do you take the dose in one go ?

one at a time my jerks were very severe but lessened as I reduced dosage pluss increased Lirica dosage.I was falling apart ,lack of sleep and depression forced me to just go cold turkey from the sifrol .I retreated to our caravan with a collection of drugs and prepared to meet the devil ,I took the lyrica

Hello everyone, I was prescribed 75 mg of Lyrica (a lower dose is not available in my country) for fibromyalgia. It didn't work and the side effects were horrible so I stopped using it after 20 days. Unfortunately I got addicted and I've been going through withdrawal since 25 days.

Why do people put on weight using lyrica

Last night I took 2 of my 25 mg Lyrica tablets . I settled down in bed and no symptoms came . I woke this morning and couldn’t believe that I had slept so soundly . For once I went to sleep and stayed asleep at the same time as my husband !!!

I have taken Lyrica, Duloxetine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Ropinirole, Gabapentin, Horizant, and other drugs prescribed by different physicians. I wonder if these doctors diagnosed my problems correctly? I may have different issues, other than these three.

He prefers Horizant or Lyrica due to the extended release properties. He switched me over to 600 mg Horizant and upped the dose to 1200 mg per evening when the 600 mg proved not to get the job done. I am seeing a hematologist to get an iron infusion, as my ferritin levels were at a 90.1 ng/ml.

Lyrica (pregabalin) works on the same receptors as gabapentin but does not have any absorption limitations. You can increase the dose (maximum 300-450 mg) to get maximal therapeutic effect when not limited by side effects (similar to gabapentin). mjb

I remained on the Lyrica. I read the clinical trials on Lyrica when it was first prescribed. The trials indicated that the daily dose for chronic neuropathic pain was 450mg. I experimented and listened to my body until I found a dose that worked for me.

I was taking lyrica but found if I took ordinary painkillers on top I couldn’t talk and so stopped taking meds all together. I spend a lot of time in Spain and find this does help but have been back in UK and unable to get steroid injections in shoulders.

I remained on the Lyrica. The clinical trials for Lyrica indicated that the dose for chronic neuropathic pain was 450mg daily. I experimented and listened to my body until I found a dose that worked for me, at the time it was 300g each morning.

I usually manage to stay up till 10.30pm then take 300mg of lyrica, 100 mg of Tramulief and 10mg of nortriptylene. Lastly I apply a 2mg Neupro patch. This lot knocks me out and about 6.00am I have 300mg of lyrica and so another day starts. This morning however it was different.

I have been on Pregabalin (Lyrica) 75mg twice a day for bad Sciatica, but I want to come off these and go back on to Dicoflex and Solpadol which i take only when the pain is bad. How do i go about doing this?

I have tried tramadol, codeine, oxycodone, lyrica, Gabapentin, clonazepam, MSContin and various combinations. I have emailed Dr Buchfuhrer, with no suggestions from him. Last week I saw a sleep specialist for the third time. His area of expertise is sleep apnoea.

The MD put me on 100 mg. of Lyrica about 6 weeks ago. I didn’t see any change in pain so I stopped and he now increased it to 200 mgs. which I never started. Anyone have any relief with Lyrica? I’ve tried high doses of Gabapentin but after awhile that stopped working so I’m off of that too.

He put me on Neupro ( no other medication has worked for me including Lyrica & Melatonin etc.) It has worked like a dream & I am having at least 7 hours sleep each night.I am so relieved that things are getting back to normal.

Could anyone please tell me what a therapeutic dose of Lyrica would be? I have to ask here as folks are far more knowledgeable about RLS than my GP who, when I talk to him about RLS his eyes glaze over. I am reducing Sifrol and increasing Lyrica as required.

(long story, won't bore you) Docs had already tried to give me Zoloft, Prozac, Amitriptyline, Cymbalta, Lyrica, and probably forgot a few. Could not take any of those. For instance, Zoloft hurt my stomach so bad, I couldn't take it. Prozac made my anxiety a million times worse.

Im afraid Lyrica didnt help me at all. I just piled on weight so I gave up on it

I take Lyrica (pregabalin) 150 mg BD for anxiety. I usually take the morning dose with my breakfast (so at least 30 mins after my Levo but usually closer to 1 hour after). Is this ok? Do I need to take my morning dose later? Thanks
