Taking 50mg of Lyrica x 2 daily - sleep or am sleepy ALL the time?

Yes, I have been in, literally, 6 rear end collisions! As you can imagine I have severe back and nerve problems. 2 implanted neurostimulators later I also have been taking Lyrica (or Pregabalin) for many years. It still can make you drowsy if your day's been hectic and you're worn out, but it DOES help tremendously. I take the 150 in the A.M. and P.M. It helps with relaxing the "crawly" feeling in my legs and body but, damn, it's expensive to refill!
My "answer" to the sleepy issue is to take a simple caffeine pill in the morning before getting out of bed and I feel wide awake most of the day, and it also helps with keeping me awake because of the pain pills I have to take, too. It's just an OTC pill like NO-DOZ or a generic from Walmart or Walgreens. Give it a try.

Hi, i would say give it some time. I also take Lyrica, and was initially prescribed 300mg split in to 3 doses daily, and it knocked me out at first. With time though, and dosage adjustments, i got used to it, and it was, and still is a great medication for me. I now take 150mg: 50mg a.m. and 100mg p.m. How long have you been taking it this time?

Our bodies change over time, and what once worked doesn't anymore. I don't see what lyrica will do for hip pain. Did they find out why you had seizures? The lyrica will help that at least. I didn't have a side effect of sleepiness with it. When do you take them? If that doesn't go away, then I'd say your dr needs to change your med. Hang around, because we can use someone who knows something about herbs here. We get questions we can't always answer about them.
