Just reading now...I am on lyrica now for about 8 months taking 300mg now, it has helped with my muscle pain but not my spinal or hip pain...on other meds for that and for constant debilitating migraines. I feel though that is has reached a plateau and has stopped working, kind of leary about taking a higher dosage since that is the highest recommended...I do get some blurry vision and did get some drowsiness at first but that has since ceased. Reaching it's plateau has since caused some pain to return.
Just an indicator...Lyrica is a controlled substance ( CV ), it's the lowest on the scale but it is a contorlled substance and is very prone to abuse...just check erowid on the net and view people's "experiences" with it...and it is quite addictive...just a little warning...
