What Dosage Of Lyrica Are Others On This Site Taking?

My doctor just doubled mine. Wants me to take 100mg in the morning and again 100mg at night, but it makes me light headed and tired when I take it in the morning.

I have mentioned this before and I don't want to scare anybody. My husband was on it for pain and it really changed his personality for the worse. It didn't help with pain and trying to get off of it was very hard. I hope it brings you all relief..just be careful with it.

Like you, MrsT2, I will Never take Lyrica again. The side effects were so dangerous for me, I list it as an allergy. After only about 2-3 weeks, once a day, lowest dose, I nearly had a serious accident, falling out of the shower. It also caused me to run into things, like I was disoriented. When I called my PCP, she said, "Stop it Immediately."

If you take Lyrica, be Very careful of the side effects. It can make you so disoriented and dizzy, you may seriously hurt yourself. It also can affect your vision, especially blurriness.

Never Lyrica for me, ever again - dangerously scary! Perhaps check out brilliant Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum's newest amazing book "You Can Recover from Long COVID" ... it's like a summary of his comprehensive "From Fatigued to Fantastic" 4th Ed... which is much more detailed. He's on FB too! I've met him... more later.... {{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}

Perhaps check out brilliant Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum's newest amazing book "You Can Recover from Long COVID" ... it's like a summary of his omprehensive "From Fatigued to Fantastic" 4th Ed... which is much more detailed.
