I’m wondering any long term side effects from lyrica my sr said to keep upping the dose until I have a pain free day tonight is day three and my first time taking 75 mg I’m Leary of upping the dose because of the fogginess I feel in the morning any words of wisdom
Hi there,
I haven't been on Lyrica for a long time (as it didn't help my pain), but I had the side effects of being very drowsy all day, weight gain of about fifteen pounds, and swelling of the hands. I would be careful driving - I had trouble keeping my eyes open even on my short commute to work. It's your decision, of course, but being someone who isn't getting relief from any medication - I would be willing to deal with some side effects if they were mostly tolerable if I could get even some pain relief.
I hope you have a good (or tolerable, or less painful than the day) night.
Kelly
