I found it unfortunately, to be comletely ineffective. In fact, it made my symptoms worse. I felt lit up like a Christmas tree with pain everywhere. The first 3 days I slept solid, the 4th day, I behaved strangely, dressed in a hat and scarf inside all day, I didn't even take my pain meds that day because I felt as though I would overdose or something. From the 5th day on, I felt worse, then tried for entire 2 weeks, even upping the dose onn the 2nd week, then I had to wait while the doctor weaned me off of it. That was my experience. Good luck with whatever you choose to do and I'm sorry about your diagnosis.
Let me know if I can help further in any way.

I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia and was started on Lyrica..I wanted to know if any one else found this medicine to be effective and what side effects you've experienced while taking it. Thanks
