Kim,

What sort of nerve pain does the Lyrica help and how

much does it help?

Thanks,

I take it for nerve damage pain. The Dr. has never called any of my pains

fibro. but the Lyrica does help. I have a lot of the side effects though. Weight

gain, I eat all day and night.......LOL...... sleepyness, I have reduced my

mg. Some swelling in my ankles. Other than that it works great for me. Before

if I was even lightly poked in my sides or back I would jump and the pain

would stay for at least an hour. Now that has gotten to be much better.

Take care,

Kim C.

Kim,

How many mg of lyrica are you taking? I just went up to 100 mg today and so far

haven't any side effects, but I have noticed a definite difference in both my

mood and my pain levels.

Chelle,

I was taking 300 mg a day, but was dropped to 225mg. It makes me soooo

sleepy. I agree with you though, it helps me also mood and pain so I just try to

rest when I can and sometimes, I can't nap, but I will continue to take it as

long as I am having more positive results than negative!! One of the few meds

that actually do help.So as long as I can i will take it. I also think the

cymbalta helps the mental side. The pain reliever factor I have not felt

change. Little baby steps towards relief, I think as we all are hopeful that

our

meds new or old will give relief. Any is better than none!!

Hugs,

Kim
