I know only one person taking Lyrica right now, and she says it makes her spacey. Given the fibro-fog one already suffers, I fail to see an advantage.
Have your doctors tried Cymbalta for you? I was already taking it for depression, so they boosted the dosage -- it's commonly prescribed for Diabetic neuropathic pain, and being used experimentally for fibro. I think it is helping.
Have the doc check your levels of B12, and CRP (C-reactive proteins). Apparently elevated CRP is pretty common in fibro patients, and can be controlled with daily aspirin, which also helps with the pain.
