> Hey Monte,
> I have been on Lyrica for just shy of a year and what I have found is that after a while at the same dose I just go flat. Just blah feeling.

> Through trial and error I have figured out that Lyrica (at least for me) after a time at the same dosage requires an increase. It acts as though your blood levels are falling and it is as if you are in a constant state of mild withdrawal from the drug.

> I have not wanted to increase so I have backed off the dosage when this has happened for just a couple of days or so by taking less more often then I go back up. I do best with this drug taking smaller amounts every 4-5 hrs with bedtime being the largest dose of the day.

> KayeThanks Kaye..I think you may be absolutely right. The Lyrica is not as effective as it used to be. Thank you..i will mention it to my pdoc today, however i don't think he'll go higher than 600 mgs.
