I did see that dizziness can be a side effect of lyrica. Do you have any blood pressure issues?

Hi Sean, that is part of the neuropathy, it may be that you need a stronger dose of the Lyrica. I take a few different medications all to try to reduce the level of neuropathic pain that I have suffered with for almost five years. It took a bit of time in the beginning to get the right dose. Lyrica and Tramadol have eventually helped for me, I still have pain but the medication has been worthwhile.

Hope you get it sorted
 
Yes, you could certainly ask to increase your Lyrica - I take 300mg twice a day so it shouldn't be a problem to increase it.
I hope you get some control over it it's a very nasty consequence to deal with - if you need any advice and I can help I will.

Kind regards
Lauren
