Hello it has been a long time since I made a post. My daughter has a very rare form of epilepsy. There is no name for it because they have never seen it before. She has a very low dopamine level and that causes all kinds of problems. We were having problems with vommitting and she was not able to use her muscles she was very weak and lifeless. I'm not saying she was paralized but she just didn't have strength or the will to move. We started Lyrica about four months ago to get her to stop throwing up. Something amazing happened she started to move again. She can now reach with her arms, walk with lots of help, she crawls, she even started to eat by mouth again. We still feed through a G-J tube but the vomitting stopped immediatly after starting Lyrica. She is moving around and we are so excited she still has seizures and still has problems but I just wanted to share our experience with lyrica with you. She takes 300mg three times a day. She weighs like 60 lbs and is age 8. I hope this information will help others with conditions simmilar to hers. But please talk to your doctor and discuss how Lyrica can help your child. Patricia
