it helps with my nerve pain...although i still do have some numbness but it doesnt work with my back pain. I am happy with it for other reasons too...i sleep quickly and long..my anxiety is calmed...i can have have my leg touched by clothes sheets etc now without the crazy sensitivity..i havnt had an bad nerve blasts yet.
Ive been on for about 6 weeks now i think. On the down side it does make me drowsy and at night i clench my jaw...dry mouth and i dont seem to number two as regular.
with me the pros outway the cons atm....it does take some getting used to i went from 25 to 50 to 75mg twice a day...its possible as i can still feel my numbness my doc will increase it...but i dont think id be able to drive...ill just do physio and wear a brace and hope for the best. from everything ive read its not recommended for anyone who has inclinations to depression. have a really good look at the lyrica site too. i was surprised how new a drug it is.
