Feb 21, 2010	25 mg Daily	None	Moderate	Always	Not at all

Side effects:: Walking problems, Brain fog

Date: Feb 21, 2010
Advice & Tips: After I got past the side effects (approx. 3 1/2 weeks), I felt great. Slept well, good energy level. I wasn't warned about the possible weight gain and I am on blood pressure medicine - I gained 10 lbs. I could eat and eat and eat and never feel full. I was mountain bike riding and other activities, but still I gained weight. Finally, the medicine just stopped working. I got discouraged and stopped taking it abruptly - bad idea! Withdrawl symptoms were not pleasant.
Cost: < $25 monthly

Side effects:: Weight gain, Headaches

Date: Feb 05, 2010
Advice & Tips: For about a year this was the best treatment I have found for my FM. We also found that I had gained 30 pounds within a year and this was 3 months after having our youngest daughter Hana. So, now I am struggling to lose the weight. I would recommend Lyrica to anyone if they are looking for pain relief, but also stress there is a huge side effect of weight gain.

Side effects:: Sluggishness

Date: Jan 16, 2010
Advice & Tips: As I increase the dosage I am feeling more sluggish. I was taking a lot of Topamax when I started Lyrica and I had to reduce the Topamax because with me the combination made me very slow and sluggish. I don't think I want to go up on this med. any more.
