Does Lyrica 2 X 25mg Have High Side Effects?

I am 80 and was prescribed Lyrica 2 x 25mg per day. The pain is less, but the side effects are horrible. Blurred, double vision, weight gain, constant sleepiness. I just can t stand it, almost prefer pain. Is it possible to have these side effects with such low dosage? Thanks
