You might want to wait until the Lyrica REALLY takes effect. Some of these meds take awhile before they really start working. This, I believe, is one of them. Give it a week or two, and if it's still the same I''d surely call the doctor!
Best of luck and please keep us posted. God bless. Hugs, Lee

I was misdiagnosed with fibro, so being the proactiver person that I am, I studied it in detail subscribing to all sorts of newletters and the like. One newsletter from a chiropractor who treated fibro naturally mentioned that lyrica only had a 30% success rate in treating fibro. The reason it was approved for fibro pain was because there's tons of money in it, not because it works.

Took the Lyrica for a week, roommates made observation that I was having DAILY migrianes. I stopped taking it and the migrianes went away. Of course it was helping with the back pain, but the migrianes were unbearable. Stopped taking it. Pain is back, and migrianes gone....feel like im in a catch 22.

Lyrica caused me to feel dizzy. It didn't help the pain much anyway so my doc DCd it.
