marym Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I'm on a new drug - Lyrica that will take the place of morphine sulphate. Does anyone have any experience with this? The benefit is that you don't build up a tolerance and need to increase the dosage and it is not an opiate. But it has its own set of side effects. You need to build up to a theraputic dosage, I assume to less the side effects. That dosage is 300mg 2x. I started at 25mg and I'm now at 100mg. Wondering if anyone else has tried this and with what results. Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Hi Mary, It seems Lyrica is a very similar drug to gabapentin which I have been taking for over 6 months now. I have experienced no noticeable side effects. Maybe just a very slight weight gain, but I am not even sure it is from the drug. I am not sure what info you are seeking. I have been happy with gabapentin. Seems Lyrica works with less dosage. Let me know if you have specific questions that I may be able to answer for you.
