Lyrica is treating my New Daily Persistent Headache. Lyrica is squashing my anxiety and lessening my OCD. The only problem is I feel stoned. I've only been on the medication a week and at 600 mg. Will "the stupids" go away?

Hopefully someone who's been on it will chime in but maybe your on too high a dose? There seems to be no rhyme or reason to all of this sometimes which to can be so irritating. Hang in there.

Tepi might be right that is a pretty high dose to start with? Phillipa

My husband was diagnosed with new daily persistent headache this past summer. He went to a headache specialist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, and was prescribed amitriptyline, 10 mg. now up to 40mg. and can go to 50. This is helping him.
It does seem like you are on a large dose of Lyrica for headache.
