Todd and Rogette.....I have had a lot of leg swelling since I started the
Lyrica. I was taking 150mg 2XD and I am now up to 300mg 2XD. It still does not
completely control the pain. Today I asked my neurologist about switching back
to the Effexor. He agreed to switch me back. I had taken Effexor before after
Lenora from the TMIC list said it had helped her. I switched to the Lyrica when
it first came out hoping it would be the answer. I think all in all the Effexor
worked better. I would be interested in hearing about others experience with
Lyrica and Effexor....Cody in Austin

Yes this is part of TM. I use Lyrica twice a day and Nortriptyline once
at night time. It doesn't stop it completely, but it does help a lot.
I never got to go to a pain clinic where they could really know what
medications to give me. That would be a great place to start.

I have had TM for six months. I have it from the waist down and was
initially paralyed from the waist down. I am now walking on a walker and semi
on a heme cane. However, I get these strange sensations from the nerves in my
legs and when I am laying down a burning sensation in my thighs that really
hurts. Have any of you experienced this and is this medication for it?
Hi Cody,
I also have had extreme leg swelling with Lyrica. I was on Nuerontin
initially and then switched to Lyrica. I think the Lyrica helps, but the
swelling is awful!
