I am on 3rd week of lyrica and this morning dose went up from 150 daily to 200mg. I noticed after taking higher dose my heart seems to be beating really fast, or a lot faster than usual, is this normal?
Does lyrica cause fast heart rate?

Its a normal side effect of it. Its possible the 200mg is a little too much for you.

Whoops, wanted to say if it were me I would stick to the 150 until I could talk to the dr about it. Its not something you want to keep happening.

Thank you kaismama, you could be right. I am due to see my Dr this week for review but I might consider lowering back to 150 tomorrow if it continues. On a positive note, its definately helping with my nerve pain :)

If helped my pain, but I had too many of the side effects.
