Lyrica / Pregabalin: What dose helps you with Fibromyalgia pain?

Posted by ripley @ripley, Nov 14 12:14pm

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia a few years ago and experience muscle pain and fatigue almost every day. My Dr just prescribed a low dose of Pregablin -- 25mg twice a day, which she said I could take "as needed".

Does anyone else take a low dose of this drug and receive pain relief? Also, does anyone take this drug "as needed". My pharmacist said this should be okay on such a low dose.

Hi. I was FINALLY diagnosed back in 1999... it literally took YEARS to find the 'right' medication to help the daily, constant pain. It was Lyrica. I do not take it PRN. I take 125 mg (two different pills) three times a day. It has helped keep the monster at bay...

After years of medication for fibromyalgia and no relief I started running from it - literally. I lost weight, I got in better health. I quit taking the meds that were barely doing anything in the first place and I feel great unless I get sick and don’t run for more than a few days.
