I took Lyrica for 6 months and was up to 300mg per day. It did not thing for the nerve pain, but I did gain 17 lbs. I stopped taking it and have already lost 12. I was taking Neurotnin before that and was so dizzy all the time I was have numerous fainting spells, and severe nausea. Now I'm taking the Cymbalta of course, and Limbrel for my Osteoarthritis.
