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

[Guest guest]

i started on it a couple of months ago and my starting

dose was 75mg AM and 75mg PM. Just a few weeks ago my

doc up'd it to 150AM and 150 pm.

i was so sleepy the first dose i could not do any

thing but sleep and get up and look like i was drunk

in my actions . now the only things is the swelling in

my hands and feet. more so at night for some feeling.
