Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Well, I've been on Lyrica several weeks now and have worked up to 400 mg a day. So far, I can really tell that it is helping! I didn't take it a couple of nights and had a horrible time trying to sleep and felt like ick the next mornings. Just shows how much sleep is a part of all of this. I don't care for the weight gain but the rheumy told me to quit worrying about the weight. That it is much more important to get to the place where I feel better and then I can evaluate the weight then. Not a huge gain, less than 10 lbs. But I'm only 5'2 " and every little bit feels like a lot. I also ran out of Enbrel and was off it for about a week while the drugstore ordered it. Funny how I get to feeling better and think wow, maybe I can quit/cut down these drugs. Then I run out and wham! I realize just how much a difference they really do make. On a side note, I haven't smoked or even touched a cigarette in 5 weeks and 6 days! lolol That feels great to say that. Phyllis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
