Lyrica?
Wow, I see you wrote this back in September and of course I didn't know this board even existed. Miracle of Miracles, other people who understand my pain!!!
I am taking Lyrica and can tell a difference. The pain isn't gone completely, but for the most part I can do everything again. There were days I needed help getting dressed, and the pain was so bad I could barely walk.
I am 5'4, 150 lbs and I take 75 mg when I wake up, 150 mg after lunch, and 150 mg at bedtime. Initially I was tired, now I usually experience just a touch of dizziness from time to time. I feel hungrier than I did prior to taking the Lyrica, but my lap band will only allow so much food!!! I may have gained a couple of pounds but nothing to freak out about just yet.
Congrats on the 200 pound weight loss, I am so psyched for you!
