That's interesting! I've been taking Lyrica for the past 3 years, currently at 75mg 3x a day. So my last dose is usually right before bed. Sadly, regardless when I take it, evenings are when my nerve pain is the worst. I tried adjusting my doses so I could take the last one a couple of hours before bed, and that helped a little, giving me the chance to fall asleep. But then the pain would wake me up. Your experience might depend on the dose you're taking.
I'm picking up a new prescription later today for low dose Naltrexone (1.5mg capsule once a day). I've read posts by others in the Neuropathy group that they have found it eliminates the burning, pins and needles, and electric shocks, but not the numbness. The side effects are also relatively mild and dissipate as your body adjusts to it. It may take some time for it to take effect to that extent, but I'm willing to give it a try and get off of Lyrica. I really liked it at first, but it's given me awful brain fog and fatigue, not to mention weight gain. So I'm hopeful in trying the LDN and will post what kind of results I get.
There are various websites that explain about it. One of them is http://www.ldnresearchtrust.org
