Today is day two on Lyrica. I haven't had a single seizure or episode today. Maybe what Amitriptyline caused, it's finally either going away on its own or it's being stopped by Lyrica. Can't drive though, I feel very sleepy and sort of buzzed like you said. Like right before you get drunk but you're still impaired.
The pain is still here during the day but I'm not taking the recommend dose of 50MG twice daily. I take it only once as it stops the pain at night... But if I took it during the day I'd be too lethargic to function. Just getting sleep with no pain makes my next day far better than its been!
Let's hope I keep the side effects to a minimum, so far so good!
