I started taking Lyrica at the end of January and I felt fine on it. The only thing was that I had to take it at night because I felt dizzy when I took it during the day. Then 3 months into taking the medicine I started getting dizzy, nauseous, feeling off balance, and vertigo and I am not sure if it is from the Lyrica or from fibro. Could it take three months before you feel side effects of a medicine? I always thought you felt the effects right away and then your body got used to it. Although my precription was slowly raised too. I am gonna try to cut the prescription in half and see if that helps. I just wanted to know if anyone else had these problems with their meds.
