I'm taking LYRICA for chronic tension headaches. I don't like what Jen says about icky withdrawal especially if she's comparing it to Paxil which is right there in hell beside Effexor. If I were in your position and had concerns about a new medication triggering migraine, I would contact my headache specialist and report the changes. I'm excited that this drug is working on my pain on numerous levels, but especially my migraines. (I'm knocking on wood right now.......)I've been taking Lyrica for the last ten days in hopes that it would help my intense social fears and/or my chronic migraines and tension(?)

By the 3rd day i was no longer waking up with my usual morning headache. Otherwise, I'm gonna ask if I can take it all in one dose (300 mg) at night.crap! But it’s worth keeping an eye on Lyrica and related drugs.The articles on Headache and Migraine News are © 2004-2020.Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of each article, and to point you to further sources of information. I don’t know much at all about Lyrica, but I do know that the “migraine brain” hates change. I read more info on Remedyfind, user reports and was a bit discouraged. i must be the only person that lyrica will not work for. I don't want to dig myself too deep into any holes of dependence/withdrawal. It is interesting to watch more studies being done on neuropathic pain, and how these many diseases may have commonalities and common treatments.There are concerns about dependancy on drugs like Lyrica, and some patients do experience side effects, such as vision problems, dizziness and chest tightness. Pregabalin, sold as Lyrica, is a relatively new drug. Wow! Right now i am only on … I've been taking Lyrica for the last ten days in hopes that it would help my intense social fears and/or my chronic migraines and tension(?) I take Klonopin too, so it's hard tell, but I think Lyrica is working on my anxiety and I might, once I'm accustomed to the drug be able to back off the benzos, which would be cool. so, yadda yadda.... in conclusion, 200mg has helped my sleep and lowered my anxiety. i take 200mgs a day, and it's helping my anxiety. I think it is 600mgs for anxiety issues?crap! remember, even if there is a set dose, it doesn't mean you need a dose of that size to help you. By the 3rd day i was no longer waking up with my usual morning headache. If you have an account, I've been taking Lyrica for the last ten days in hopes that it would help my intense social fears and/or my chronic migraines and tension(?) my neuro finally told me that i could stop taking it.

It's nice not to be on them, any more. I will probably up my dose next week. headaches. But not in the cognitively impaired way Topamax fucked me up. Does it make the rest of ya'll sleepy? i've been on it since december and was up to 300mgs/day with no relief. By the 3rd day i was no longer waking up with my usual morning headache. go with what works for you. Of course i'm the defeatist and imagine that it will not help for that too-could i be so lucky? Keeping things on even-keel is the best thing we can do. I will probably up my dose next week. I started Lyrica 1 1/2 to 2 weeks ago for pain (in combo with Cymbalta which I was already taking for depression) the pain, fibromyalgia, fucked up post op back surgery pain, and migraines...I notice a difference already.

I've never drunk alcohol while taking these as it says not to on the box. Earlier this month the Pregabalin is certainly helping some patients, but more studies will show exactly whether or not it will be a good choice for chronic pain. i'll probably add a mid day dose and go up to 300, (there is a 3xs a day vs 2xs a day debate) but i don't plan on going up to 600.  there are studies showing efficacy at 300mg and lower for anxiety. Tension-type headache typically causes pain that radiates in a band-like fashion bilaterally from the forehead to the occiput. I've had them since I was 12. Damn it! Sneakypanda New Member.
