My Neuro prescribed it for me to help with my fatigue problems. I looked it up on line, & it mentioned that it is a drug for Parkinson's disease. I am taking 100mg twice per day, Monday - Friday. It does seem to help with fatigue, and also makes my legs feel lighter(?). I have not seen any discussions of it here on this site. Anyone ever hear of it?

I have been on two 75mg. twice a day. I've decided I don't like it at all. It makes my legs so numb that I cannot feel them. My feet.... I think I've picked them up to walk but I haven't so I trip. The pain is definitely less but from my knees down I feel as tho I have two blocks of heavy cement. So, after 2 1/2 months I have decided to go back to Neurontin. I am also on Cymbalta. I started both meds at the same time so I don't know if the Cymbalta is helping or not. It has helped with my depression, not sure about pain? So I'm going to slowly go off the lyrica and stay on Cymbalta at least for awhile. Now I know others on the list really like lyrica... like any med it works for some and not for others. You have to give a try for yourself. Let us know how it goes... What were some of your side effects of Cymbalta??

With me anyway, gives me the GI's big time. What's the scoop on Lyrica? ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com
