> Hi,
> Just a few days ago i tried Lyrica- my dr wanted me to try it saying that i 'would be better off' since i take pain medications. My pain is so severe from pudendal nerve entrapment that there isn't any way not to take them- i can't even be late with a dose without being in terribly bad pain.

> The dr tried me on a low dose- just 25 mg and adding it slowly to build up.
> In just two days it was too hard for me to drive. i felt ok but made all kinds of mistakes on the road- things i never would do. i came so close to having a bad accident- inches away when switching lanes. Lyrica disrupted my thinking and reasoning ability so much. Once i was confused whether i was going the right way on an entrance ramp. i had to stop taking Lyrica. Even at that early time- after a day- it felt that the burning part of my pain was better. The pain meds don't help all of the pain. It's not safe though for me to take Lyrica. i also felt a little shaky with it, a little anxious, too.

you need to give it more time. a few days isn't enough. those side affects will pass. i've been on it for 3 weeks and find it great. best pain relief i've had. don't drive until they have passed.
