Stop it: Some people have resolution of side effects with lyrica. But if it's more than a week and you still have side effects, then they're unlikely to go away. It can vary in how long it takes to have an effect, but if you're zoned out its probably not worth it.

The dose is too: Low for any help. Therapeutic dose range from 50 X 3 to 200 x 3. Talk with your doctor. Hypersomnia is not uncommon!
