 Ok, so I am not really hopeful on this drug but I am giving it a try for a week. How long before it starts to kick in??? I am supposed to call the doctor back in 5 days and let her know how its going.

 It's probably the Methocarbamol. They told me to take it at bed time for the first 4 nights and then after twice a day.

The Lyrica didn't make me feel goofy, but it has been known to make some people feel euphoric, but it never did that to me.

As far as the Lyrica kicking in I'm not sure because it never did for me.

I hope that it does help you!

 I hope the Lyrica starts working for you very soon so that you can give your doctor a good report. I know the Lyrica can make me feel goofy, for sure. What is the other med you are taking?

 Its a muscle relaxor called methocarbam. But its not that. I took the Lyrica alone this afternoon at work and it happende really bad. I felt like I was drunk. A coworker asked how I was doing because I seamed so up beat and I told them it was because I was high as a kite! So far nether are helping. Maybe the muscle relaxor a teeny tiny bit but not much.
