Hi Lesley,
I take Lyrica and have some relief with it. At first I didn't think that I was until I was told to stop it for awhile, then I really noticed how much it was helping. I was told to start my 75 mg capsules as such:
1 at night for 1 week
1 at night, 1 in morning for 1 week
2 at night, 1 in morning for 1 week (this is where I have relief and have not increased any further) but if I need to then I would follow with 2 at night and 2 in the morning.
I ususally take my Lyrica about 2 hours before I want to go to bed. It does make me sleepy and I now sleep through the night without waking with pain or trying to get comfortable.
I pray that you find relief from the Lyrica.
