    Newly-diagnosed & trying to adjust...

    How long does it take for Lyrica to take effect for fibromyalgia pain?

    I have been on it for 8 months now. Started at 50mg/day and now take 450mg/day (150mg/am, 300mg/pm). My sleep is finally getting better, but I still wake up in pain and it continues to get worse throughout the day. It's only been about one and a half months at the 450mg dose. I'm getting some...
