Re: Re: Lyrica update too? starting dose, anyone who takes it?

Tina, plus anyone else considering LYRICA

Since I see so many negative comments about lyrica, I will try to

show you another side. I was started out on 25 mg 2x a day. and

gradually increased it until I passed my limit. Then the doctor went

back to the previous dose and stayed there. I looked up my records

of buying it to find this. I am now on 150 mg 2x a day. As to which

is better, morning or evening I can't answer as I have always been on

both. I have had no side effects, not even weight gain. Hope this

helps.
