I'm a bit apprehensive because I've heard terrible things about the possible side effects. Her plan is to create some kind of blanket of constant pain relief. It wouldn't stop the CH but it might make them easier to deal with. So what I'm asking is, has anyone had a positive response from Lyrica or do I have to go back and tell her to give me something else?

Well, As far as making you deal with it easier, my aunt was on it, it would knock her on her ass so hard she would sleep through the night. It wasn't for CH, but she was scared to take it for fear she wouldn't wake up to hear her kids if they needed her, or were doing something they shouldn't be. 

It's used for anxiety, so that may be why he's trying it. It also works on GABA receptors.

For me, it didn't do that. I just became aggressive, but, I'd started to have the same adverse reaction to Neurontin, and they're related to each other... So it's no suprise that I became aggressive on the Lyrica too.

I'd say see how you feel on it. Mind you, it may take a few weeks to kick in, to see any difference.

Periodically I take Lyrica(300mg) for my back, and it's worked well while waiting for my next cortisone shot. I've been on it now for 3 weeks and there has been a decline in the intensity and frequency of my attacks. I don't know if this is do to the lyrica or not, however next week I'll be off Lyrica so it'll be interesting to see if my attacks become more severe.  By they way I really haven't had any side effects that I'm aware of.

It did not do any thing for my ch or back pain.  Good luck maybe it will work for you.
