Hi Marylyce, I was taking 200 mg of Lyrica. I thought I was going to go nuts I was hyper, had swollen joints and pain in my knee. My doc said Lyrica can cause depression in some people. He gave me a formula to titrate off of Lyrica. After being off of it for about a week, I became very depressed and my pain in my knee was horrible. I decided to try 25 mg of Lrica because I could not sleep. The next day was better. My depression lifted. I took a 25 mg dose the next morning and the pain in my knee was gone. Since then I have taken 25 mg at night and only take 25 mg in the morning when my knee pain gets worse. My depression has stayed away. I cannot explain this. I just wanted to let you know what happened to me. Best wishes for you.View Thread
