I was in constant pain from Periferal Neuropathy. Could only walk for 7 minutes before I had to sit down because of extreme pain. Started with 25mg 3 x per day, moved up to 50 mg 3 x per day and am now at 100 mg 3 x per day. Results dramatic! Now walk a mile and a half 6 days a week with minimal pain. Sit down at the 3/4 mile mark, not for pain but just for a break. No side effects. Lyrica...
i had the capillary lead syndrom with very strong neuropathic pain, so the treatment against was 3x a day 100mg, but i feel very depressiv and the pain is still the there.

Having had had unknown nuerological ilness for many years now and tried numerous drugs, by far this is the best to date. I have more energy can walk further and now dont have to have a daily sleep. Which in itself is a great relief.

My use of this drug is for neuropathic pain from multiple sclerosis.I find it easy to use and we think it has helped with the pain by helping to reach the plato that I am at now.

Although when I started on this drug, it worked really good. As my symtoms worsened this drug became less effective, even with a higher dosage. I started out taking 100 mgs. Now I'm up to 600mgs abd it's not touching the pain.

The use of this medication has essentially stopped the burning pins-and-needles in my hands and feet that had me walking the floor into the night.
