Lyrica not working all of a sudden

First time on Lyrica.  I was taking 75 mg 2x daily and it was workin great.  Increased dosage about 2 weeks ago and slowly my pain is coming back.  Woke up this morning feeling like I'm not on the med.  Has anyone else had this happen and is it temporary or does Lyrica stop working all of a sudden?.

Some Rheumies claim that increasing the Lyrica dosage may not only not
translate into increased symptom relief,  but it may instead stop working completely.
Mind you that this can happen any time, regardless, for no apparent reason.

Why was it increased anyway?
You mentioned it was working great at 75mgx2.

I hope you get it sorted out.

Best wishes!
