Your personal experiences with Lyrica?

Posted by Crazy Horse on August 7, 2006, at 10:37:48

I've been doing very well on Lyrica for 10 days now. I take 300 mgs. bid, working up to this higher dose over the past 3 weeks. 10 days ago it was like WOW! I noticed a big change..depression relief, anxiety gone, and i have become very pro-social. I need to include that i am taking the lyrica in conjunction w/ the 9mg. EMSAM patch, and 2 mgs. of Klonopin daily.

Please tell me your personal experiences with Lyrica (pregabalin) and what you know about this medication. Thanks.

Monte, It's good to hear you're doing so well and please keep posting your progress. I just got my prescription for Lyrica today! I also take Lexapro 20mg and Klonopin 1mg per day. Let's compare notes!

I'm glad to hear you're working well at a (high, clinically significant) dose -- unfortunately for me I'm one of the whatever % that had to discontinue it because it caused blurred vision, changing 20/20 to 20/40. I never reached a clinical dose, this was something like 50 mg or whatever was the smallest. This could be because of the drug itself, which is a known side effect, or because of the other medications I take.

Neurontin I think also can cause all sorts of wierd things though for probably 99% it is benign and in fact passes the urinary tract after a certain amount of dose is taken. I still take Neurontin, though I think it was more effective when I started than when I use it now mostly as an adjunctive to benzodiazepines.
