Lyrica I have been on for 3 years now. It is the ONLY thing that HAS worked for my nerve pain. If you don't have nerve damage then maybe the side effects are harder to deal with. I have lost weight on these pill and have NEVER has any side effects.
The question is,what are you willing to do to Stop the pain your having? IMOthere are not enough meds for my pain and at least having the nerve pain + Lyrica = totally works for me.

It always takes at least 5 weeks to get medication starting to work right. Maybe given 75mg of it may lessen side effects.

to anyone that tries cutting off the pain.
