Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 So far, after about 4 days of taking Lyrica, I see vast improvement. I am hoping I can stay on the Lyrica because if he does not give me samples, I may not be able to buy it. It is right now a miracle drug for me. But, I keep in mind that alot of folks on this med did feel really good for a while and then the relief wore off some. I also see that it has to be increased quite a bit for alot of people. But for now, I am almost a normal person for the first time in years. Ok, the side effects are not bad. It does seem to affect my balance and make me a little light headed at times. Of course medications affect everyone differently. Good luck, hugs, Debra V. uniceander Lander2004@...> wrote: Hi all, Boy, I am so encouraged by what some are saying about the pain relief of Lyrica. Tomorrow I start on twice a day, so I hope I see some difference soon. I had a really good day today, except for my arthritis in my ankle. I guess I will have to go to the foot dr. and see if he will give me an injection of cortisone or something. Hugs to all, /Mi --------------------------------- You rock.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Debra, If you have a good relationship with your doctor....maybe you could call and ask if it would be possible for her/him to give you samples each month??? My doctor gave me a whole bottle of Lyrica when I was there...but I do have drug coverage as well. I think I have to pay the first $30 a month...it's worth it if it is working. I hope you can figure something out. Hugs, /Mi Re: Lyrica-- A wonder drug for now So far, after about 4 days of taking Lyrica, I see vast improvement.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 When they wear off you need to have him increase your dosage. I'm hoping at some point that levels off! So far I am up to 400mg/day hugs debra van ness ladybug75901@...> wrote: So far, after about 4 days of taking Lyrica, I see vast improvement.
