Well I've been on lyrica for years now and I take 600mg a day but at first you may feel that pain but make sure you have it on a full stomach maybe that will help good 😊 luck 🤗🤗

I am on same dose but I am fine it depends on each person I take 75mg 2 x daily and my psychiatrist wants my Dr to increase dose because it really does not do much for me but it can cause stomache pain or weakness in some maybe can ask if can lower the dose.or ask if something else will work instead but I know I was told Lyarica is one of the bests out there good luck hope this helps.

I take 75 in the morning and 150 at night and never had any problems. I also have Crohns so my stomach is sensitive. Try taking with food. If not ho back to the doctors as it may be that your system doesn't tolerate it. There's nothing worse as I've e perience a reaction to drugs abd it made me very ill. Good luck!😊

Try taking it at night with half a Dramamine until your body gets used to it. Lyrica is not for everyone, I know, but it has helped me substantially.

No that's not good you better tell your doctor tell him that you're sick from it obviously that's not for you maybe he can put you on something else and see how you do with that as far as a muscle relaxer I did some research and it's working very very well for me is baclofen 10 milligram it's something that not many rheumatologist talked about but I told my primary about it and I've had to take less pain medication believe it or not so I just take my anxiety medication and the Baclofen and my pain is actually I'm having better days it what it is it's a muscle relaxer and it makes your little drowsy but you just doze off and take a nap you wake up you feel better so I would ask her that I'm not a doctor but I'm just trying to throw it out there get back to me and let me know how you make out okay
