Just started Lyrica

Hello All,

Well, I saw my GP this morning, she was happy for me to give Lyrica a go, as it helps anxiety as well as fibro she said.

I'm starting low doses and gradually increasing until I find a dose that suits and helps.

So....50mg twice a day for 2 weeks, then 75mg for 2 weeks, 100mg for 2 weeks, the recommended dose is 150mg twice a day, so it'll take about 8 weeks till I know what is going to be my every-day dose, but will review with the doc at the 100mg point or sooner if needed.

I'm very sensitive to medication, and If they don't suit me I know within an hour of taking it, usually with nausea/vomiting/feeling ill and fainting!!! BUT.....so far so good, first dose was 5 hours ago, but it was low so time will tell.

Many thanks to you all who replied with VERY helpful advice on my previous post when I was just thinking it over about starting Lyrica....but I'm giving it a go................we shall see!!!!

Love to all,

Lucy xxx

Great way to start! I take the 150 mg twice a day and it works wonders for me. I hope it does the same for you :)
