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

[Guest guest]

I was told to take 75 mg at bedtime, but never told to go up on the dose. I

have an appt. the first part of Feb.,maybe he'll tell me then. But on the

dosing instructions of the lyrica site, the dosage is much different for FM.

Maybe it depends on each patient and what other meds. are taken. It's getting

to be a full time job to figure out how best to treat this.

I don't know if 75mg is low or not because I was just put on it this

past Tuesday but, my doc want me to raise the dose come next Tuesday.

Did your doc say anything about raising the dose after one week?

Also, does anyone know if lyrica should be taken in the morning or

night? The reason I am asking is if I take it in the morning I am

tired and slightly dizzy but the pain is easier, and if I take it at

night I sleep but then by the afternoon of the next day the pain is

strong. It seems like I can't win for losing,LOL.

Thanks (((HUGS))),
