I've been on Lyrica for 3 weeks now - 150mg a day. I'm finally starting to notice a small dent in my anxiety, but I feel like I need a higher dosage to really start feeling the effects. I feel like right now I'm on enough to get more side effects than benefits, if that makes any sense.
Problem is, my doctor had never even heard of Lyrica for anxiety, so I don't know what sort of dosage increase to ask for.
How did you approach it? Do I ask to go up to 200mg or should I ask for more than that?
Right now I'm just feeling really sleepy all the time and I can put up with that if I see a bigger dent made in my anxiety, but for all I'm feeling now it doesn't seem worth it, so I'd just like to know how to go about explaining to my doctor what I need.
