> Tried it. Had great hopes for it based from what I could gather from online reviews. Works at first, quickly looses effectiveness, leaving you to up the dose. Sound familiar. By the time I got to over 300mg my brain was turning to mush. Speech and stringing thoughts together became difficult. Decision to get off it was easy in the end. No lasting benefits, tones of side effects. By the way, getting off lyrica is not fun.
I also had to up the dose, although I didn't feel that it lost effectiveness that fast...I think I was on 200mg for about 9 months, then went to 300mg. Can I ask, what was your strategy for discontinuing? Did you do a slow taper, a fast taper, or cold turkey? How did you feel?
