Updated

I was prescibed Lyrica for my nerve pain in my left leg and the doctor told me it takes at least 2 weeks to really get into your system. He also said that it is much better than Neurontin, which I am currently taking. Dont know about any side effects yet. But will let ya know. Hope this helps.

Works for me. I have been on 50 mg of Lyrica 3 times a day for at least 10 years for idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy. No side effects whatsoever.

They are in the same medication class, both are anticonvulsants that have also been shown to help with some types of nerve pain.

The side effects to Lyrica may include nausea, dizziness, headache, weight changes, and mood changes.

How has it been working for you?
