@iceblue Wow. That's a quick response to a skipped dose. I wish I could take it. It's the one medication I've tried that made a noticeable dent in my pain. Unfortunately, I had some serious reactions to it that put me in the hospital for three days. I guess that if I didn't mind being incoherent, I could take it anyway for my burning neuropathy pain. Not gonna happen.

I guess your experience showed you how much Lyrica is helping you.

@jimhd I was honestly surprised by how quickly and how intensely the pain returned. It was so bad that I finally got up at 5:00 am and took my pills. By 6:00 am the pain was diminished. Not gone, but lessened to the point where a couple of T1's took things to a dull roar. I was nervous about taking my next dose that night, but I threw caution to the wind and took it at midnight (with no ill effects).

I wish my doctor would increase my dosage (100 mg/day), but he seems content to have me supplement with pain meds on a daily basis.
