Lyrica starting dose, anyone who takes it? ((tina))

[Guest guest]

My doctor told me that the tired feeling will tapper off in time. and to take it

in the morning. He also told me that 75mg is good to start with then go up

weekly tell it is at the right dose for (me). normal dose for FM is 300mg per

day. So it will take a while to get there. Slowly so that we can get use to the

side affects (don't want zombies) Tiredness will pass. and then the dose will go

up. Soon the pain will pass.

I hope. Will be starting on Tuesday. with my first dose of 75mg.

I will keep you all posted.

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

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))),

Tina
