Lyrica

Lyrica changed my life! You may have to play w/dosage. It does make you sleepy. I take one 75 mg in the morning and 150 mg at bedtime. It helps me get a better night's sleep. However, if I sleep in one position too long, the pain does wake me up. My neurologist diagnosed me and prescribed med to me. Hope this helps someone else out there.

Is Lyrica one of those meds that you HAVE to take every day? Or can you just take as needed?

Welcome to the forum Chalmation,

I am happy that you have joined us, and happy with your success with Lyrica..!!! Isn't it nice to find something that works??? This is an awesome post!!!

How long have you had fibro? I have had it since about 2001. I have got it pretty much under control but i still have some pain. I will take that any day though over the pain I had in the beginning. It was awful.

Since you are new and this is your first post, I want to direct you to an awesome thread. It is the first thread on the forum called "fibro 101". It has a wealth of information and although you have things under control, I think you would find some interesting things to read there.

Do you live in a warm or cold climate? I am in Michigan and it is cold still here. But it is in the upper 20's today so that isn't bad.

Do keep posting, you will find a lot of support going on here. I hope that this is a good day for you...

Hugs, Karen...
