Hey Dalton and everyone else, Aloha. I just want folks to know that thanks to Dalton letting me know about Lyrica, I've gotten control of my leg spasms. I'm taking 150mg. 2 times a day and suddenly a week ago my spasms stopped! Not having a neuro so consult with Sandy, yes our Sandy, has been counseling me about stopping the Lyrica and after discussing it with my GP I am doing a gradual reduction and will soon be down to the 50mg. Dalton has reduced to. Lyrica has been a god send to me. Thanks Dalton.
