I went to my Rheumy on the 31st, which is the same day I started taking 50mg of Lyrica. I slept amazingly well that night and have continued to sleep really well until this last Sunday night. I noticed my energy level was improved and my general attitude was very happy. After taking 50mg for 7 days, my doctor upped my dose to 50mg 2x a day. I started feeling fantastic despite the 'high' effect (I felt like I was on pain meds). That was great for about 5 days. I didn't really mind the high feeling because I felt great...I even had energy after 8 hours of work to clean my house
!! I'm in the process of buying a house so I'm a little stressed, but so far (knock on wood) it hasn't been too bad. It's more exciting than stressful (my first house). So Sunday I noticed I randomly started waking up in the middle of the night and then I would quickly fall back asleep....which is really typical for us Fibromites. Last night I felt like I was getting the flu. My boyfriend swore he thought I was getting sick. I was running a low grade fever and my head was killing me plus the aches and pains. Today I'm dragging a little and just had to take a Darvaset at 1pm. I haven't had to do this since I started the Lyrica. I'm worried it's going to stop working like others have reported. Anyone else on Lyrica that can tell me how it's going for them???
