| 5 | damage mid-section left foot | F | 56 | 75 1X day | 11/25/2010 Patient History | 5 | back pain | I took Lyrica for back pain; however, a friend advised me that this drug was approved by the FDA for Fibromyalia.The recommended dose was 350 mg to 450 mg.I was in a full blown fibro situation and I was non-functional. In just a few days my fibro was checking up. I am still dealing with a few fibro problem areas in my hands but I was able to spend 3 days out doing shopping and socializing and I would not have been able to do all that I did about 10 days ago. I have a doc appt tomorrow and I can not wait to tell her how I am doing. I think FDA got it right this time.For additional info, check out the fibro web sit. Just type fibromyalia and you will find several sites. The first one gives the info on Lyrica. | F | 51 | | 7/2/2007 | 4 | Multiple Sclerosis | Brittle hair, disoriented, light headed, | I am in instense pain in my arms and hands. This is the first med I have found that will help me manage the pain while allowing me to work. | F | 47 | | 10/31/2007 | 4 | | 10/8/2008 | 4 | trigeminal neuralgia | At first, my balance was compromised, then gradually returned to fairly normal. Now, I'm extremely fatigued and wonder if its the Lyrica. A nurse told me she couldn't lose weight with Lyrica, but hasn't been a problem for me. Lost 35 pounds. | Two years | F | 54 | 200 2X day | 2/25/2011 | 4 | diabities | M | 57 | 300 1X day | 7/23/2010 Patient History | 4 | fibtomyalgia/migraines | Felt floaty and moody for 1 week - then felt great. | caused weight gain. My weight can fluctuate by 4 or 5 pounds overnight. | F | 39 | | 3/6/2008 | 4 | small fiber neuropathy | M | | 3/21/2008 | 4 | Post Herpetic Neuralgia | A little confusion | Helps alot with sciatic symptions. | F | 56 | | 5/5/2008 | 4 | Fibromyalgia, migraines, MS | I have experienced some dizziness and general high feeling, but I assume this will eventually subside. | I do not understand what everyone is complaining about. Unless you have withdrawn from a highly addictive narcotic/opiate, then I guess that a little discomfort is too much for you. Everyone is complaining about moodiness, nausea, etc when they stop taking Lyrica. Try to stop taking Oxycontin and Percocet and Methadone and Lortab and all of the other pain medications out there (on your own), and then try to stop taking the Lyrica. I guarantee that a little bit of discomfort from the Lyrica is nothing compared to what you will feel for a week or so when you stop taking a REAL addictive medication. Stop complaining and just go on with life, even if you feel like you have the flu-like feeling. BABIES!!! | F | 36 | | 9/18/2008 | 4 | fibromyalgia | lips felt raw, possible costipation and need for high dose | I suffered from fibromyalgia for 9 years and suffered a lot. I have gained about 5 pounds but I feel more energy, less short and long term memory loss, less pain by 40% and I sleep and I can work better. I have a lot more energy. I do not know if it is a miricle drug but it has reversed a lot of the symptoms I had prior to fibromyalgia. I was in so much pain for so many years and I had a lot of memory loss and pain, it is nice to have more energy and less pain. I have been on the medication 1 1/2 months and have very little side effects except the ones I mention earlier. Like all medications, one should try it for themselves and then determine it. I read many of the comments and felt bad, because if you suffer from fibromyalgia like I have for so many years and to have something that can help me to continue to work then, thanks be to those who can help others. | F | 53 | | 4/20/2009 | 4 | Aching feet, nerve | 1X day | 3/21/2015 | 3 | Neuropathy in feet | Weight gain, dry mouth, serious imbalance problems. Balance shows bad with heal to toe tandem gait test. Neuropathy is still there but better with Lyrica. Effect of Lyrica wears off quickly but balance problems do not. | M | 71 | 150mg 2X day | 8/14/2014 | 3 | Fibromyalgia | edema blurried vision | cost is excessive. | F | 54 | 150mg/day 2X day | 1/3/2011 | 3 | frequent migraines/fibromalgia | insomnia/depression | I have only been on this med for one week and realize this is definitely not enough time to make judgments, however it would help to know if any others have experienced depressed thoughts while on this med. Hopefully this is temporary. I can handle the insomnia with other meds, and I am on Cymbalta which may need to be increased by my primary care doc. If any others have experienced the depressed thoughts please let me know along with progression while being on the med longer. | F | 50 | | 9/30/2007 | 3 | M | 13 | | 4/27/2007 | 3 | GENERAL NERVE PAIN | UPPER ARM PAIN, DIZZINESS, WEIGHT GAIN, FATIGUE,BLURRY VISION WELLING IN ANKELS AND HANDS | F | 49 | 75 2X day | 5/23/2012 | 2 | neuropathy | | 1/18/2007 | 2 | Back Pain | First week was great! Only side effect was blurry vision (which should go away as my body adjust). On the 8th day my hands and feet started swelling, bloated feeling all over, gas, mood swings, pain returned somewhat, cognitive issues, sleepy, tired, weight gain. | I've been on Lyrica for 2 1/2 weeks. I'm in the process of reducing my dosage and getting off the Lyrica. | F | 49 | | 3/31/2008 | 1 | migraine | Weight gain of approximately 1 pound per day. | Stopped migraine but effects rapid obesity. | M | 63 | | 3/5/2008 |
