iam fairly new to lyrica about 7 days now but i have to say the nerve pain in my upper back left side loke udder the shoulder blade seems to have inproved.it was so bad i really coulnt stand it any more,so although still early to say that alone was a god sent,its also allowed me to sleep all night without getting up to use the bathroom.I was getting up every 2 hours and arising at 2oclock 3 oclocke 4 oclock,and today i slept to 6am which for me is heaven because i have 5 dogs and a small parrot to care for and without sleep you can imagine how hard it could be.I was perscribed lyrica back in sept, but was afraid to try it because of all the side effects i read about but so far so good,I wish i would get that euphoria so many people are talking about but better not get greedy,im also on lexapro,xanx and hydrocodone,but none of those ever touched that nerve pain,i wouldnt wish that on anybody and most people that havent had just do not understand,again sorry for blabbing but i really need a sympathetic ear.please forgive me and hope lyrica does even better for you all. love marywoo
