Sorry, i forgot to add that I have cervical osteoarthritis . Lyrica worked well for the pain but did not treat the nerve sensation of electric shocks in my head.
I have had an MRI and also disc fusion surgery earlier this year. The
MRI showed my surgery was a success but i have new bone spurs touching the nerves.
I am seeing a neurologist for this soon.
Lyrica stopped helping the pain, and my doctor raised the dose which did not help. It also made me very dizzy,
and that improved once i lowered the dose.
So, no doubt my neck issues are a major part of my health issues.
When I first took Lyrica i felt high as a kite, can't lie it was a wonderful feeling.
I started on 75mg daily and when pain increased it was raised to 150mg. That's when i started walking into walls and was so vague i wrote everything down. And the blurred vision worsened too.
I apologise for this very long reply Theresa😁

Hello Theresa,
You shock symptoms may have been caused because you were decreasing your dose to quickly.
