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.

I am 64.5 years male and have flashes electrical current in the brain when I go to bed that lifts my torso from the bed. It is bewildering, and methinks it stops heart and brain function immediately momentarily. I am unable to sleep despite medication with Clonzepam and Pregabalin with Methylcobalmin once daily. Only when it is day-break I can sleep for an hour or two. Also, prior to this sometimes, I hear sounds like hissing or the one that we hear before the water boils and it suddenly becomes the one mentioned above. I am unable to tell what ailment it is. All tests have been found normal except MRI, in which, normal changes due to ageing are apparent. I have pain for thirty years in lower abdomen and waist, in thoracic region and also in neck for last few years.Read More Read Less

Before taking this medcation, I had to use my dad's walker to get my 6 year old to the bus stop for school because I could not walk anymore. But since taking this medication, I can at least walk. Nothing will kill the pain completely but at least being able to see about my child's needs is a huge step to be able to do.
