Lyrica

Posted by sewsforfun @sewsforfun, 4 days ago

Hello! I take Lyrica for neuropathic pain. Recently when taking my evening dose, I experience pain in my feet afterward. I understand laying down at night can increase pain. But I'm already laying down by the time I take it. It doesn't seem to make a difference on the timing of the dose. Anyone have a similar experience?

@sewsforfun ~ Thanks! Starting it tonight and crossing my fingers and toes. No wait - the toes don't cooperate!! Think I'll pray instead. 😉

@brennankb55 - Neuropathy Commons has a good overview of the different testing used to diagnose neuropathy - https://neuropathycommons.org/diagnosis/diagnosing-peripheral-neuropathy. This short video by Matthew B Jensen Assistant Professor of Neurology, University of Wisconsin that gives a good explanation of how the different neuropathies are diagnosed.

@sewsforfun ~ I'll be happy to! I understand it can take a minute to get into your system and start working. Also, I'm only at 1.5mg and it can titrate up to 4 or 5mg. Fortunately I have a local compounding pharmacy, but they don't bill insurance or accept any drug discount cards like GoodRx. I understand there may be ones online you can order from, so I'm going to look into their requirements and pricing. Tonight is just my second dose as it's recommended to take it before bed. I've bookmarked this post so I can give updates.
