In reply to Is anyone using Lyrica with Ambien?, posted by Betternow on January 19, 2009, at 22:45:46
Studies suggest that Lyrica does promote Delta sleep, part of the reason it is now on-label for FMS. I've taken it with Ambien, and did find it improved restorative sleep. However, I did suffer from side effects, including weight gain and cognitive slowing.
I took 200-400 mgs, along with 10 mgs Ambien, for nerve pain. It definitely helped the nerve pain as well.
I never found it to speed me up at any dose up to 600 mgs, the max that I took.
Hope that helps.
