Hi,
Is anyone having success with Lyrica for PN?

Thanks,

I took it short term and had to stop. I found it was making my muscles weaker and I couldn't tolerate it. Ive heard that others do very well on it. How long have you been on it and is it helping you?

I took it for a couple of wks trying to ride out the side effects. I had to stop because it was making me very drunk, I already have trouble with balance/dizziness so it was too much. It did help with the nerve pain in the legs/feet area. And I was sleeping very well, but the price was too big to pay. [dizzy]

My wife has been using Lyrica for several month and it has made a good dent in her pain. She has experienced no side effects from it so far.
