Getting back up is still very painful in knees and lower back. The medication is very good, has no side-effects, but I have noticed improved mood, "waxing LYRICAl", becoming more eloquent (very similar to a Marijuana high) ... Show Full Comment

Within 60 minutes of taking 150mg I notice a dramatic reduction in pain, and a dramatic increase in my ability to move, bend over, and go down on my haunches (squat). Getting back up is still very painful in knees and lower back. The medication is very good, has no side-effects, but I have noticed improved mood, "waxing LYRICAl", becoming more eloquent (very similar to a Marijuana high) and have moved from 75mg bd to 150mg bd very easily. Still, I have to see a Neuro-Surgeon next week as I have two slipped discs and pronounced bulging of spinal cord. Have shooting pain into both legs, sciatica in sacro-iliacs, leg pain like a wrench is tightening every muscle and tendon, and sometimes it's impossible to walk. But LYRICA remains an excellent medication and I applaud the manufacturers.

Was taking Gabapentin before which worked well for the pain but couldn't shake the nasty side effects even after 2 months. Am having no side effects (that I'm aware of) on the Lyrica. Expensive if not covered,$180 for 100 (Canada),but its been worth it.

I had a stroke,may 2006, I have worsening pain in my right side and was given pregablin 7 months ago. It dulls the pain a bit but the side effects are still not going away. I am dizzy, sleepy, confused, forgetful, etc.
