Hello Ann,
Welcome back.
I do not take Lyrica however have heard others on this board that have and
they have found it helpful (some have anyway). It is however expensive and
not covered by medical financial. I was told by my doctor here in Calgary
that it was expensive and not covered and that he felt there were still too many
side effects.
I take Neurontin. I take 600 mg every 5 to 6 hours. I used to
take as many as 3600 mg per day in doses of 3 (300 mg tablets) per time and 4
times per day. I found that my memory was really really bad then, I
was sooo tired etc. I have cut back now and really don't find a lot of
difference in the relief of the pain.
With your doctor not available I think that the pharmacist would be your
best person to discuss this with. Please don't overdose.
Hope some of this info has helped you. Do you not have any
instructions printed on the medication container?
Heather in Calgary
