how long does it take for lyrica to work

Lyrica (pregabalin) generally begins working right away, but many people may start to feel noticeable pain relief within the first week. The full therapeutic effects, especially for nerve pain, fibromyalgia, or seizures, can take several weeks—typically between 1 to 4 weeks—to become fully apparent. In some cases, it may take even a few months to see the maximum benefits. Your doctor may adjust the dose during this period to find the right level for optimal effect. If relief is not felt within a few weeks, consulting with a healthcare provider is recommended for potential dose adjustments or alternative treatments.
