A member asked:

How long does lyrica take to work for pain/numbness caused by cervical stenosis and herniated disks? thanks.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends...: Pregabalin (Lyrica) peak plasma time can be around 1.5 to 3 hours; however, every case is different and the effect also depends on the level of pain. If you don´t perceive any benefical effect after the second dose it is recommendable to ask to your doctor about the situation.
