I have gone back to this medication after taking Lyrica because of blurred vision and extreme dry mouth symptoms. I wish I could find something else that would help with the firomyalga pain. This seems to be the only other medication there is.

I used this drug to relieve exteme tingling and electric shocks from my stomach down my legs to my feet and toes due to type II diabetes. I also was unable to sleep more than 1 or 2 hours a night. Lyrica relived all symptoms immediatley after taking the first pill. Only adverse side effect was a punch drunk feeling that only occurred after taking the first pill. Eventually my nerve pain went away after 10 months and I was able to stop taking Lyrica for the next 6 months. My sleep pattern returned to a more normal 5 to 6 hours per night. I have recently been unable to sleep more that 1 to 2 hours per night again and I started taking 1 150mg pill before going to bed as a sleep aid. Lyrica works like a champ as a sleep aid. I get 5 to 6 hours sleep again with no side effects.
