I am taking Lyrica...gradually upping my dose because I am so sensitive to meds. My story is a long one and will tell it later. I started taking Lyrica for burning/nervous sensation throughout my body from a side effect from blood pressure med. I was told by a Neurologist that I had MS, Lupus and Sjogrens back in Jan! Went to 3 different Specialist and I didn't have neither of them! But the anxiety that it caused was something else. Started Lyrica gradually upping my dose for the last few months and now taking 25 mg AM, 25 mg 2pm and 75 mg at night. I am sleeping now at least 6 hours a night versus 1 or 2 hours or insomonia which is nice. I am still having the burning nervous feeling off and on most of the time along with some other side effects or symptoms. The Lyrica has helped me though...maybe if I were to get to a higher dose it would help me more? I am feeling drugged and having blurry vision with it now but the Psych. said that he wasn't concerned about the blurry vision....that it is more of a nuisance than a problem. I sure hope he is right. I have been able to handle the side effects from the Lyrica more so than anything else I tried. I am hoping it is just going to take time. I have been upping the dose very slowly over the last 4 months going 2 weeks after each increase...this time he wanted to go for a month but I disaggreed. I go back to him tomorrow.
