Yay Tepi! This is super news. I'm pleased :-)
Lyrica was a strange one for me. I needed less Xanax and therefor cut way back. However, people told me afterwards that I slurred my speech. I remember having to take extra effort to speak. That said, other than speech and some cognitive dulling, it felt so, I don't know. Like such a relief.
I also credit it with getting off snri medication without a withdrawal effect (unheard of for me).
You were able to tolerate high doses of gabpentinin. And you already respond to 75mg of Lyrica.
I couldn't be more pleased for you. I would try to keep your dose lower as one poster (sigi?) suggested to retain efficacy. In my state in the US, it is considered a slightly controlled substance. Sorry I forget what schedule that is. Less controlled than Dexedrine, opiates, benzodiazepine. More controlled than ssri's.
:-)
I felt it's effects right away, too.
