To IAMTHEWALRUS About Lyrica For Pain

Posted by bulldog2 on July 1, 2008, at 18:37:21

What daily dose of lyrica do you use for pain? Has it maintained it's effectiveness at that dose? Any side effects (weight gain, edema,increased appetite)?

thanks

I take 700mgs. a day for diabetic neuropathy and back and neck pain..it works very well. The only side effects i've had that have gone away with time is blurred vision and increased appetite.

Would you be able to calculate a ratio of neurontin to lyrica. If I'm used to 3600 milligrams of neurontin to achieve a mood elevating effect how much lyrica would be an equivalent.

Well, they do work a little differently, but i would guess about a 3-1 ratio...please don't quote me on that, but that is what i would say i experience. Try it, it's really an amazing drug.
