I've recently started Lyrica for SAD, GAD, etc. I've tried everything possible besides this one. I'm on day 8 right now. I just bumped up to 600mg/day. I'm taking 3 200mg capsules divided through the day.
So far I'm feeling some "mild" relief. I've probably bumped up to 600mg a little fast but surprisingly my side effects haven't been that bad after the first day or two. I've had a lot fewer side effects so far than most meds I've tried.
So, Crazy Horse or anyone who's had success with Lyrica.... how long does it take to reach full benefit on this med? Is it like a 4 week thing? Or, since I'm already at 600mg, would it take more like 2-3 weeks. I appreciate any help and can gladly answer more questions.
Thanks,
Josh

Crazy Horse is still blocked so google his name and lyrica. Think he's doing well on 600mg but not sure. Best I can do. Love Phillipa

Thanks for letting me know... been awhile since I've visited here. Wasn't there another poster I seen in the past posting about Lyrica success? I wonder if he/she's still around here.

I've had some success with Lyrica. I use 150mg as needed for insomnia or distress from SSRI/benzo withdrawal. I experienced unacceptable cognitive problems with regular dosing. Dosage and benefit/side effect profile vary greatly from person to person (like all meds).
