>My advice(not that you asked for it, ha)is to be very patient with Lyrica. Intitially, i did not like it at all, it made me feel very sedated, foggy, and cognitively impaired. I "stuck it out" mainly out of desperation, and i thank God every day that i did. I was on it a month before i noticed the anitidepressant, energizing, pro-social effects that i am now enjoying. I came sooo close to discontinueing this drug, that know when i think about it, it makes me shudder.
I sincerely hope it works for you. When/if it does, it'll be like a light switch being turned on..click, and suddenly, whoa! But, it'll take high dose to experience this, 500-600 mgs. a day.
Now, every day is a pretty damn good for me! I'm holding at 300mgs. b.i.d. now for about 3 mos.Best wishes.
