Now that I'm on Lyrica I don't have to deal with all of the side effects and it works great for me. I first started taking it at Craig Hospital and haven't thought about switching it since. I take it twice a day once at 9 AM and once at 8 PM. Daniel Espinoza 26/m/California Occupation before accident - Network engineer / SR.

I have taken so many pain meds to control it but never resulting in more than a few hours of relief. I just began taking a strong dose of Lyrica and it seems to be the key for me. I'm backing down the narcotics and it has only been a week but DAMN. I take 1 in the morning and I don't sweat or feel the presure that starts AD. I have not had a day without sweating and shaking for over nine years. I feel like I might have a life again. (knock on wood) We are all different and I know many of us have problems that it won't help. I will let y'all know if it stops working. It has been so long since I have felt this good. I want to goto the park and watch lovers and throw stale bread at the birds again. (I feel like I could really nail one, maybe even a lover.) I really wish you all the very best, john
