Re:LYRICA/DIZZINESS QUESTION

April 6, 2008

Hi,

I am wondering if your lyrica is all at one time or in

divided doses? I usually react to medicines and am

careful when starting something new..(like taking a

half dose at first to see if I fall on my face)...and

I just started Lyrica recently with no problems..but I

take 50mg three times a day. If you are taking it all

at once ,maybe a divided dose would help with the

dizziness etc. JMHO..jenna

Jenna,

I take 150mg bid and I don't think the capsules can be divided. I

have been on lyrica for about 6 weeks and I have had no symptoms of

dizziness. I have had weight gain and swelling in my feet...but I am

finding some releif from the medication. The chronic fatigue is what

kills me more then anything. I would talk to your rheumy if there

are lower doses of lyrica or maybe trying neurontin (if you haven't

tried it already). I don't know if this answers your question, but I

hope it helps. Best of luck to you.

,

Not yet, I just had my sleep study over the weekend and I see the

pulmonologist next week. They need to r/o sleep apnea before they

can give me a medication like provigil. Apprently if you have sleep

apnea, narcoleptic medications can make it worse. My sleep study

went well, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that they will

prescribe me provigil or another medication simular to it. Thanks for

asking. The fatigue is getting worse, it doesn't matter what time I

excerise...I feel drained before, during and afterwards. Like I

said...I am keeping my fingers crossed.
