My fibromyalgia, causes me to have muscle cramps mainly in my pectoral muscles, that mimic
heart issues. I also have what feel like tiny pin pricks any any time on my upper torso. I take 75mg
of Lyrica twice a day once when I go to bed and once when I get up. I tried Gabapentin, and once day I was playing golf and made me nauseous and a terrible headache. I know each of us react to all drugs generally different.

My Dr suggests I start with 25mg twice a day, on an "as needed basis". Did you start Lyrica at a low dose and work up to 75mg/2xday? If so, did a lower dose help you for a while before you had to increase? Any side effects, such as sleepiness? Thank you.
