    I was given Lyrica for nerve pain after i had shingles. It did nothing for my pain. It made me very tired and groggy. I stopped taking it, the side effects were too much.

    I was amazed how quickly and how effective Lyrica was. I was in severe pain from discs impinging on the spine. The relief was immediate and continuous.

    I take Lyrica twice a day. I don't think it helps much. I also take gabapentin (800mg 3 x day) and Elavil. The first time I took it, I actually passed out walking to my kitchen. No joke. I smacked my eye on the corner of the counter and now have a 2 inch scar above my eye. My doctor told me just to take the Lyrica the next night and see if it helps. It doesn't.
