OverUnderAndThrough Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 To all those who take Lyrica, I'm curious what dosage you take and why you're taking it. I take 300mg/day (150mg in the morning, 150mg at night) for both anxiety and chronic pain. It seems to be helping somewhat with the anxiety but not helping the pain.

jarn Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 For anxiety, I took 100mg 3X/day. We tried it as a mood stabilizer along with 500mg of Seroquel and gave up on that pretty quickly - too low a dose of Seroquel since the Lyrica didn't stabilize me. I wasn't very good about taking it - remembering to take a med 3X/day is not a strong point of mine, and I don't like swallowing capsules, so.... I had very bad compressed nerves in my foot last year (I run/do triathlons/lead backpacks and hikes) and it got as bad as it was (off for about 4 months) because the Lyrica masked the pain. So I stopped taking it in September after I had a nerve pop out of place and my p-doc said not to restart it now since we're changing over my anti-psychotic, though he may put me back on it in the future.
