Anyone experience with Lyrica for Hypersensitivity?

Hi,
I had a Nissen 5 months ago and am still dealing with hypersensitivity issues to'normal' amounts of acid right below the wrap. The surgery recovery has progressed fine and I can eat just about everything now, but I am one of those people who fell into the category of hypersensitivity. So, I am trying out Lyrica and we are still working on the right dosage,but just wondering if anyone has similar symptoms to me and what they have done.

Thanks

I recently had a doctor prescribe nortriptyline as an experiment to see if my LPR symptoms could be reduced by decreasing the sensitivity of the upper GI nerves. I also have "normal" reflux following a TIF in August of '11. I made it two days at 10mg per dose, but had to stop because of dizziness and impairment.

So it seems I am not alone.

My reflux was symptomatic with pain (my ph tests did show acid and motility was impaired) and acid reflux burning up my esophagus. My LES was definitely not working right and had a hiatal hernia that made it worse...had some improvement on PPIs, but acid breakthroughs constantly and especially when leaning over, lying down had more pain. So, I went the route of the Nissen, no regrets there, but I am still having pain due to hypersensitivity to acid levels. I had extreme burning pain for a while, and tried desipramine, and nortriptyline but both had side effects I couldn't handle. I tried Neurontin before the Nissen to no avail, so now I am trying Lyrica. Have seen some improvement, but we started at very low dose and moving up. The side effects are tolerable and just hoping that his drug will help me get out of the cycle of pain. My pain is less burning now and more like constant discomfort/ache that won't go away. Still try to watch my diet, but at least I have been able to eat more normally than before. I had lost 25 lbs because I was struggling so much with the reflux pain.
