Hi Mike, I have been on Lyrica for almost 2 months now. The Lyrica alone doesn't help me. I also take 40mg of oxycxontin in AM and PM. I found the combination of both has helped with my pain and it was just a matter of days before it worked. I did a bit of experimenting to find out that it was the combination of both that helped me. How is your Lyrica prescribed? I started out on 75mg in morning and 75mg at night. After 1 week dr upt the night one to 150mg. After a week of that she had me take 150Am and 150PM but the 150mg dose in the AM made me very dizzy and I would lose my balance alot. Now I take the 75mg AM and the 150mg PM. It doesn't take all the pain away but I have felt more comfortable. The mornings are still a killer for me (as it seems to be for everyone) but after an hr or 2 I am better. Good luck with your Lyrica. Ask your doctor about upping it. Let me know how you do. Charlotte Remember too, that Lyrica does not work for everyone. Post edited by: Maggie, at: 03/04/2008 10:17 |
