I take 100 mg at bedtime and it works within 15-20 minutes and it's amazing! I have severe diabetic neuropathy in legs and arms as well as nerve compression and I prefer Lyrica to oxycodone. No side effects noted as I already have balance issues from the CNS damage of 46 yrs of diabetes.

Then there is the memory problems. Can't find words when talking and super forgetful. Also balance problems, unsteady on my feet. Yes it was great for my pain but I am getting so fat and puffy it is ... Show Full Comment

Yes it was great for my pain but I am getting so fat and puffy it isn't worth it. HATE this med! I have to stop taking it, find a way to lose weight and alternative solution to my pain. DON'T TAKE LYRICA. That's my opinion!!!

I have been taking Lyric for about 4 months. While it has reduced the pain in my feet somewhat the side effects have not been tolerable. Dizziness, unstable, can't focus, some blurriness, moodiness and depression have made this medication difficult to tolerate.
