Suggest Dosage Of Lyrica For The Treatment Of Interstitial Cystitis
I started taking Lyrica 25 mg twice a day about a month ago for Interstitial Cystitis. I saw my Dr a week ago & let her know I thought it was helping, but still a little sleepy from it . Since then the sleepiness has resolved & I feel the dosage could be increased. Would I increase to 25mg 3 times a day or go up to 50mg twice a day?
