**Purpose:** Pain in lower back *(Started Oct 13, 2010)*
Date	Dosage	Perceived effectiveness	Side Effects	Adherence	Burden
Nov 06, 2010	150 mg Daily	None	None	Always	Not at all

Date: Nov 06, 2010
Advice & Tips: Took it in the past for about a year. Stopped it then due to problems getting it covered by insurance. It was not worth me taking it as in the results and problems I had getting it filled at the pharmacy. I tried it again and had no relief and decided with my doctor to go on oxycontin. I believe it didnt help because I have a bulging disc for 4 years and was misdiagnosed all those times. It is not reccomended to take Lyrica for a bulging disc that could have been easily taken care of if it was found in the beginning. Because of my misdiagnosis my pain turned into all of these conditions I now have.

Aug 12, 2010

Side effects:: Sleepiness, Swelling in the abdominal region, Drunk feeling, Abdominal bloating

Date: Oct 12, 2010
Advice & Tips: I picked up the medicine from the pharmacy, went home and ate and then took it. I was hurting pretty bad because I had been up most of the night with my 4 year old daughter coughing. My pain is worse when I don't get enough rest. I could tell about two hours after I took it that my pain was significantly decreased. I felt really good for the first time in a very, very long time. I was sooooo happy!!
Cost: $50-99 monthly

Date: Aug 12, 2010
Advice & Tips: I was put on the titrate dose to end up taking 50mg twice a day, but it made me sick to my stomach, so the doctor changed it to 25mg twice a day and I don't feel sick anymore, but I still hurt.
