| 5 | Nerve pain | Depression,loss of balance,exhaustion,constantly falling asleep,nausea.weight gain of 3kgs, severe bloating. | I hate it but dr said there is nothing else to control the burning pain.I am also on opioids for severe restless legs.Life is hell.When I try to cut down,the pain is unbearable. | F | 64 | 5 months 75mg 1X day | 3/25/2021 | 5 | Feeling of high, brain fog | Prescribed for shingles, my pain was debilitating and Lyrica took it away. It's the getting off of the medication that is hard, ween off slowly | F | 59 | 21 days 3X day | 12/14/2020 | 5 | Neuropathy | None | Very helpful | F | 50 | 6 years 300, twice 2X day | 7/9/2020 | 5 | Fibromyalgia | No side effects | Better balance !No pain but The burning on my feet Is less | F | 64 | 10 days 25mg 3 Tim | 6/17/2020 | 5 | Diabetic foot neuropathy | Zero side effects. I don't know what the problem is with so many people having suicidal thoughts while taking this medication. Might be an interaction with other meds? I suffer from severe depression and had no problems with Lyrica. Once I ran out of Lyrica and didn't get my prescription filled for 4 days and felt no withdrawal symptoms | This drug literally saved my life. My neuropathy pain was so bad I couldn't sleep, walk or get out of bed. Not only did I have the typical pins & needles and burning pain but a constant throbbing that would ratchet itself up when trying to sleep and felt like I was being kicked by a horse in the bottom of my feet. I would fall asleep for maybe fifteen minutes and then be awoke by a brutal throbbing that would just jolt me. Within the first two weeks of taking Lyrica the throbbing was reduced, by the second month it almost gone and now it is completely gone. The pins & needles are reduced significantly to where I can pretty much just ignore them, the amount the pain has gone down is like going from a 10 to a 2. No burning feeling at all any longer. I'm now exercising and taking long walks. Before Lyrica I was at the end of my rope and had tried everything available, including opiates (that did nothing). I was seriously considering what I was going to do because life was no longer worth living, but now I'm feeling so much hope it's unbelievable. | M | 61 | 3 months 75 2X day | 3/3/2020 | 5 | Neuropathic Pain | So far Lyrica has really helped with nerve pain due to an old injury. I have suffered for 4 years with this nerve pain, and have tried everything to ease the discomfort. This was a last resort to try, and it has eased the pain to a point that I am not focusing on it so much now. It’s much more manageable to say the least! Not sure how long I will be taking this, but it’s working with no side effects, so I will continue! | F | 55 | 7 days 25mg-50mg. | 10/25/2019 | 5 | Anxiety & Depression | Helps with social anxiety. I take 900 mgs every 3 days. It’s a wonder drug! | I will continue dosing w/900 mgs every 3 days until my doctor or therapist says otherwise. It has changed my life for the better! I do get the munchies but combat that with daily exercise. | F | 54 | 2 years 900 mg 1X day | 8/26/2019 | 5 | Herniation L4-L5 w/nerve damage | Early on urinary urgency. It went away in time. Gained 35 lbs in 6 months. I have reversed that with a Keto diet. | This enables me to live full life. It’s not perfect, but without it I would probably have killed myself. The pain was unbearable. 75% relief of pain. | M | 38 | 1 years 150mg 3XD | 7/13/2019 | 5 | Nerve pain | When I first started taking Lyrica, I felt loopy, anxious, whiny and super tired for about a month. After the rough start, which everyone has. I was normal again but without debilitating nerve pain. This is a wonder medication! | If everyone could just get past the first month, until your body gets used it, you would be ok. | F | 37 | 4 years 150mg | 1/19/2019 | 5 | Borderline PD and Fibromyalgia | Sore nipples, drowsy, increase in appetite, harder to focus | It hasn't been long, but it's been wonderful! It's excellent for my physical pain, and mood swings. It also reduces the intensity of my emotions! Absolutely excellent! Will add another review after a month. I have been on sertraline before, and it didn't do much for me. This has really been working wonders. | F | 19 | 11 days 150 | 12/4/2018 | 5 | Fibromyalgia | Breast tenderness | Miracle drug for unexplained nerve pain! | F | 54 | 4 weeks 200 mg | 9/26/2018 | 5 | Insomnia, Extreme Anxiety | Dizziness, Loss of appetite, trouble walking | Besides the side effects, I found Lyrica to be pretty good. I’ve never been happier. I’ve suffered sever depression for 6 years. I haven’t felt this free from depression since I was 17. Feeling young again. | F | 23 | 2 weeks 300 | 3/20/2018 | 5 | Spinal stenosis | The only thing I noticed was a increase in appetite. | This can be abused! I know because I do occasionally. Alcohol tolerance was noticeably high,no hangover. But just might be me. | M | 60 | 10 years 100 x 3 | 1/27/2018 | 5 | nerve pain in legs, feet from back | Lyrica is the only medication that has helped my nerve pain. I am not aware of any side effects that bothered me. | The biggest reason I am considering changing medications is the extreme high cost of Lyrica. | F | 72 | 8 years 75 mg 2X day | 7/25/2017 | 5 | Neuropathic pain/Social anxiety | None, beside a nice high feeling and euphoria. | I dont understand why theres so many bad reviews. I tried all the imaginable pain medications, and Lyrica is by far the best one and have way less side effects compared to opiates, and many others. Im wondering if its not people from other pharmaceutical companies that write bad reviews to put the drug down. All my friends like Lyrica, and find its the best anti-anxiety medication. They like the feeling of well-being and euphoria-high feeling. Im more sociable and have 0 anxiety. | M | 37 | 1 years 150 mg 2X day | 2/4/2017 | 5 | for sores from having shingles for 2 years | no side effects. It stopped my itching when nothing else did. Tried gabapentin, and many other meds. The dermatologist could not figure it out. I have had these sores everywhere on my body for 2 years. I started taking lyrica and I don;t itch at all and I feel better all over. No side effects and I don't know why my body feels better all over but Lyrica is what I have needed. | F | 64 | 10 days 50 mgs. 2X day | 1/13/2017 | 5 | anxiety | weight gain | miracle for my anxiety | M | 35 | 3 weeks 600 | 9/30/2016 | 5 | Severe nerve pain | Slight "high sensation" the third day taking, on an empty stomach. You can avoid this by eating with your dose at first. This went away after a few days of taking the pills. First week had minor chest discomfort after taking, but was easily relieved with a xopenex puff, and stopped occurring after the first week. | I went from being unable to sleep or function normally, to being able to sleep well without being awake days straight, or waking up with massive migraines. It really helps take the edge off of the severe pain I was having. Start on a low dose if you're worried. No weight gain. | F | 21 | 3 days 75mg 2X day | 8/30/2016 | 5 | anxiety | no axiety at all...slowed my impulsive adhd behaviour like it so far | F | 57 | 2 days 150 MG 2X day | 5/5/2016 | 5 | Nerve pain in legs-tingling/burning | Weight gain, which I have since lost extra pounds gained. Possible worsening of rash I already had. (possibly increase sleep, reduced mental sharpness but also taking several other RXs Norco 10/325 6x, Flexeril 10mg 3x, that are more likely the cause) | For me it has been fantastic, it didn't make all the sensations in legs go way, but significantly reduced so I could sleep at night and have relief during the day. Took 3wks to get up to 300mg 2xdaily, advised not to abruptly stop but slowly reduce over weeks if I decide to stop taking. Has been a wonder drug for me, pain in legs from traumatic thoracic spinal cord injury. | M | 45 | 5 months 300mg 2x | 2/19/2016 |
