> My pdoc added Lyrica to my Cymbalta and Provigil in the past year. I also take Klonopin when I get too anxious or nervous. I'm coming off the Provigil because the Lyrica and Cymbalta together are too agitating. It has worked great. I really like Lyrica. I only take 50mg twice a day, and it has made a huge difference in my mood and motivation.

Well, I was just going by what some of the other posters were saying about dosages. Like this one:**********Lyrica changed my life. Most people who didn't get any good effect from it was taking small doses.
150mg is the VERY LEAST ... but a good target should be 300mg in the morning and before bed. Some people goes as far as 900mg BID.
The effect at high dose has NEARLY NOTHING to do with the high dose feeling. You cant try 75mg and try to figure out what it most feel to be on 300mg.

So I was worried about starting another drug and then feeling even MORE tired than I already do. Does it make you feel tired at all? Have you gained any weight?Terry
