Guest guest Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 I am on 300 mg's 2 times a day and each time I upped the dose I felt dizzy and out of sorts for the first few days but then I guess I adjusted to it. I know it has really helped me with the stinging sharp pains..... amber **************Get trade secrets for amazing burgers. Watch " Cooking with Tyler Florence " on AOL Food.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Sorry I haven't been here and participating in questions...this flare is kicking my butt. All I can do is lie down. To help, my rheumy increased my dose of Lyrica from 150mg twice a day to 150mg three times a day. For the first time...I feel kinda loopy and tired. They wanted to see my labs before they modified my RA medications. Is anyone taking this much lyrica? I gained about 11 poinds since I started taking it...I just hope that the higher dose does not mean more weight gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 My daughter recently saw a neurologist for HA. He said that at doses above 200 mg pts tend to gain weight. ez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hi , My husband is on the exact same dose of Lyrica and it can cause weight gain. He also feels loopy and more tired than usual. Another wonderful side effect is swelling in the hands and feet.. yippee. Wish you well. Tina A.K.A Tea_negirl Smile! It & #39;s contagious!

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Thanks everyone for responding. I just started the higher dose on Saturday and I feel really foggy, tired, and just all around loopy. I didn't feel this way when I was taking a lower dose. I hope it goes away soon...I will give it 2 weeks; if I still feel this loopy I need to tell my rheumy. I can't function like this. > > Hi , > My husband is on the exact same dose of Lyrica and it can cause weight gain. He also feels loopy and more tired than usual.
