I'm not a morning person (never was unless manic), but had to get up early today. I much prefer to ease into the day. Then I pick up energy suddenly and do well until a while after my evening medications.

So far, I'm happy with the Lyrica I've been taking since Tuesday night. Not sure if it's the placebo effect, but my left foot seems to hurt less. For the first time in what seems like ages, I can get out of bed in the morning and not limp. Of course it wasn't prescribed for that. My psychiatrist gave it to me to control irritability and agitation, which it's eased, too. Again, placebo effect? I haven't noticed any negative side effects, but I'm on a very small dose. Hope this all continues.
