Sorry for hijacking, I actually do know what the first poster is talking about... I think maybe some of it is due to your depression not being entirely gone. Hard to explain though.Scott,
I have been taking Lyrica for about 2 1/2 weeks now. I have been switching out my Neurontin for the Lyrica. It might have been easier for me to take Lyrica since I have already been on the Neurontin.
I have been at 600mg for about 3 to 4 days now. I take 2-100mg tid. It hasn't been a picnic for me, but I have had much worse times on other medications.
Alot of spaciness
Unable to retrieve words
Some anxiety and anger
Hard time driving(whoops, paid more attention after that one time)But, I truly have to say that once I started the 600mg moving up fairly slowly, I really did notice some clarity, motivation, happiness(I dare say), but I definitely am still adjusting to this dose. I seem to have a good day, then a bad one. No idea why. So, I am still adjusting and it is anything but perfect. But I am definitely seeing glimpses of maybe.
Just hoping you don't give up on Lyrica before it has a chance. Sorry, not preaching just letting you know my experience so far. I can try and let you know how it goes from here. Who knows it could go bad or it could get even better.
I also take:
150mg Zoloft
400mg Tegretol tid(2-200mg tablets)Beth
