Diffulty Sleeping When Taking Lyrica
Does anyone have trouble sleeping while taking lyrica. Just started taking last week 25mg 2x a day and I havent been able to sleep not even with my ambien. Had about 10 hrs of sleep in a week. Trying to decide if I should stop taking the lyrica or wait and see if it gets better
I had a horrible experience with Lyrica. I drove thinking I was OK and had a wreck totaling my car and broke my back. it made me feel drugged and very lethargic. I am on Gabapentin and loving it. I could not sleep with the Lyrica either therefore they ordered Ambian which I got addicted to and will never take that again. I got up in the night and ate chips and I had no recollection of it and to make it even worse, I never eat chips.!! Needless to say I am not a fan of that drug!!!
I can't take 2nd dose or I can't sleep either, so I only take it in mornings. Several of my medications will give me insomnia if taken in evenings. But I have random insomnia too.
Thanks for ur input.
I would give it a chance to get into your system before stopping it. It takes a few weeks. I started with a low dosage and now take 75 mg 3 x per day. It has been a life saver for me. Please don't give up just yet. Give it time if you can.
Lyrics made me antsy and I felt high so I couldn't take it. Sleep problems could well be the Lyrica.
