Low Doses Of Lyrica

Updated

I just got on Lyrica 50mg twice a day and my pain has pretty much dissapeared. I have been reading alot of really bad stories about it, but everyone seems to be taking much higher doses than i am, i was wondering if anyone knows if i stay on a low dose if i will have these horrible side effects i have read about

Actually, the worse of the side effects should be experienced during the first month of us, they start to taper off and get less severe after that, except for in some rare cases.

If you haven't had any really bad ones, so far, then you are probably doing okay with it and might only experience them if you have to increase your dosage.

Also remember that medications affect different people in different ways, so you may never experience some of the problems that other people have.

I was put on it at a much higher dose and while it didn't help my pain, I had no severe side effects from it, at all.
