Any feedback on Lyrica for PN would be appreciated

Lyrica does give me some relief but it makes me very dizzy, sometimes to the point of having to use a cane for balance. I don't usually take it during the daytime.

Welcome @rhbassham, It's good to hear you get some relief from the neuropathy pain. I only have numbness and no pain with my neuropathy but also have balance issues. There are quite a few discussions on Lyrica for neuropathy. Here's a list of the discussions found using search if you want to scan through them - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/.

Have you talked with your doctor about any alternative treatment that might not make you dizzy?

@rhbassham
As far as some seizure patients taking Lyrica I have heard from their dizziness has improved over time, usually weeks to months.
How long have you been taking it?
Take care,
Jake
