In reply to Pregabalin (Lyrica) - Anyone plan on trying it?, posted by SLS on September 12, 2005, at 8:24:16
I did well on fairly low dose Neurontin except for weight gain and cognitive "fuzz". Definite anxiety reduction and muscle relaxation even at 100mg starting doses, though had some "poop out" and had to raise the dose, but couldn't take the brain fuzz at 300mg or more. Would like to try Lyrica but am worried about poop out. A Pfizer rep told me it should be available in 2-3 more months.

Would also like to thank you for suggesting nortriptyline quite awhile ago for FMS pain. I finally got my pdoc to prescribe it and so far it has helped pain at 20mg. Doesn't help the trigger points, but nothing does. Amitriptyline turned me into a zombie with no gain at the tiny doses I took. Now if only I could get off clonazepam for panic attacks induced by a trial of Topamax (evil, evil drug for me). You are a scholar and a gentleman, like EdUK.
