Lyrica does work for pain but it definitely causes weight gain. I was up to 400mg daily but then I discovered LDN - Low Dose Naltrexone. It got rid of all my pain & now I’m on only 100mg of Lyrica.

The LDN website dosing info states that for chronic pain, patients should be started extremely low (.5 or 1 mg) and slowly titrated up, with top dose being 4.5 mg. My doctor started me at 4.5 mg. Would this affect my results?? I have had no side effects, but in the two weeks I've been on LDN, not much pain relief.
Also, does anyone take more than 4.5 mg for nerve or other chronic pain?
I was at my neurologist yesterday and she said she would not prescribe it, that only Pain Doctors prescribe it???
I’m down to 50mg of Lyrica once a day now. My neurologist wants me to go to zero in another week. Since my pain is under control from LDN & Lyrica causes some swelling & stiffness in my ankles, going to zero should be ok. The numbness is still terrible & I have no solutions for it.

Solobeee1: How much LDN are you taking for your pain? And how long did it take to work? I have been on 4.5 mg a day for two weeks, and so far I'm not noticing much in the way of relief.
