Why Having Blurred Vision And Feeling Disoriented After Taking Lyrica For Neuropathy In Feet?

I have just started taking lyrica for neuropathy in my feet. I also at times suffer from vertigo. I am on a very low dose 25mg. as i do react to any medication.I usually only use half dose of anything.I took it for two nights and on second night slept well which was great. But woke up with a blurred type vision feeling disorientated. I missed it for the next night and then took it last night. Today I am feeling dreadful vision feels not right and generally fell unwell.
