| 1 | Lyrica | A LOT and I mean A LOT! of missed heart beats after taking the third tablet. One scary drug for people with heart problems. | I already have a problem with atrial fibrillation and have undergone an ablation trying to rectify them, but after taking the third day of 25mg Lyrica for nerve pain from incisional hernia repair sites, this drug sent my heart into not only lots of missed beats but also a funny rythmn I have never experienced even with my arrythmia problem. They started about 1 hour after the third tablet and continued until the tablet was finally out of my system, about 30 hours or so. To those out there with rythmn problems or heart problems in general, I would warn against taking this drug. I know three days is not along time to judge a drug, but putting up with scary effects like I did, I was not willing to proceed any further. A horrible, horrible drug with scary side effects. | M | 64 | 3 days 25mg 1X day | 5/6/2016 | 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 | 4 | For nerve pain in my leg | I started taking lyrica for nerve pains in my leg. I have to say that it gave me such a happy buzz that I was very happy taking them, but I soon became dizzy with this happy disposition and couldn't drive. I have a bad memory as it is, so I didn't feel that I had a foggy brain induced by the drug. However my night sweats with the drug had vanished so whilst on the drug,I have had a good night's sleep. However on account of hearing about such negative side effects regarding the brain ie memory I have chosen to limit my intake before I get hooked | I was satisfied with the drug but feel that I have to be cautious when taking despite its "happy side effects' | F | 53 | 2 days 150mg | 5/3/2016 | 1 | Nerve pain | SUICIDAL THOUGHTS, MEMORY LOSS, AND ABSOLUTELY NO PAIN RELIEF. ALSO I GET MAIL EVERY FEW DAYS TO REFILL. TOLD DOCTOR ABOUT SIDE EFFECTS, HE DID NOT SEEM TO CARE. | May help some people (not me) but should be taken off the market because of harmful side effects. | M | 61 | 21 days 75 mg 1X day | 5/3/2016 | 1 | Chronic pain & migraines | Memory loss, slurred speech, hallucinations, difficulty functioning , VERY Drowsy and sleepy ALL the time, twitching, mental mood changes, suicidal thoughts | Im in a lot of pain but I Feel much better physically & mentally without it! NASTY crap!!NEVER AGAIN!!! | F | 39 | 6 months ? | 4/19/2016 | 1 | Leg Pain | WEIGHT GAIN, 30 POUNDS. SWEATING, SHAKING, NERVOUS, AGITATED, FOGGY MIND, | I decided to stop taking lyrica because of the horrible side effects. I took a weeks vacation and by the fourth day I was actually contemplating suicide. I was vomiting, shaking uncontrollably, pain all over, weeping, could not focus. My husband insisted I go back on Lyrica. I had this same conversation with my Doctor and she said that we would step down over a course of time. It has taken me a year to step off this medicine. I did not think I would make it to the end. Yesterday I took my last dose of Lyrica 25mg. and I still feel like there is an Earthquake inside my body. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE. IT HAS TO BE EASIER TO GO OFF OF HERION, | F | 50 | 2 years 150 2X day | 4/19/2016 | 4 | back pain. disc trouble. arthritis | My hair is very thin and losing lots every day nd nails very brittle. Lyrica is only reason i can think of | Pain wise is great. Do not have as much pain | F | 70 | 3 months | 4/10/2016 | 2 | Fibromyalgia | Weight gain, sleepiness, memory problems. | This didn't help a whole lot for fibromyalgia pain. Plus the side effects were bad. I put on about 20 pounds within 3 months and had horrible memory issues. People asked what was wrong with me. Not a great drug. Tramadol works better for my pain. | F | 39 | 6 months 50 1X day | 4/1/2016 | 1 | Pinched nerve in neck. | I started on Lyrica for nerve pain in my neck. I had several seizures from this horrible medication. My whole body was twitching while I was baking cookies and cutting chicken strips with a knife. The plate of cookies flew out of my hand, as did the knife. I have to say, first seizure ever and it was horrible. | Take this stuff off the market. The doctor prescribing it is a real addict. He told me he takes it and so do the nurses in his office. They run around moving too fast looking insane. | F | 28 | 5 days 75 MG | 3/29/2016 | 2 | Diabetic nerve pain | Dizziness,extreem fatigue, my head felt like it was going to explode | I was on 75mg and hadn't had any problems but it wasn't helping the pain so my Dr upped my dose and at first I loved it, I hadn't felt this good in years. I was working in the yard and got real dizzy , I sat down and it felt like my head was going to explode then I had about a two hour episode maybe more( on going) where I felt like I needed to sleep then I'd lay down and be wide awake... I want something else | M | 47 | 7 days 150 2X day | 3/23/2016 | 1 | Anxiety | Tremors, pins and needles, night sweats and feeling drunk in the morning | Good for some people i suppose but not for everyone | M | 64 | 3 weeks 25MG | 3/22/2016 | 1 | Nerve pain after back surgery | Word recall and increasing memory loss to the point I would forget what I was speaking about half way through a sentence. | I have permanent memory damage - can't understand why Doctors/Hospitals are prescribing/issuing this drug. | F | 64 | 6 months 30mg | 3/21/2016 | 1 | Migraines | Told my doctor I wanted off the Lyrica try something new. He did not listen at first I was taking 150 mg three times a day and now he has brought me to 100 mg three times a day to easily off of it gradually go down | First night I slept three hours on 100 mg three times a day second night I slap none body is getting overheated and tingling left message with doctors office and said I need something for DTs and sleep very unhappy. | F | 58 | 10 years 150 | 2/29/2016 | 2 | Sever back pain, herniated discs | I've had no benefit or side effects. I assume the dosage is too low. | F | 63 | 1 months 75 @ 2 day | 2/26/2016 | 4 | Trigeminal neuralgia | Makes me tired. Not as sharp mentally. | The cost is outrageous. It's the only drug that helps. 565 dollars for a months worth. | M | 60 | 8 years 225mg | 2/21/2016 | 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 | 4 | Head Smacks from Nerves C5 area | I take of a night and have not had any adverse reactions. I am finding now that I am a bit clumsy but do not know if it is the drug or my age making me fall. | I have to ease off to see if the nerves start to restart the smacking in the head if so looks like it will be long term | F | 62 | 8 weeks 75mg 1X day | 2/16/2016 | 3 | DDD | None. Actually haven't started it yet. Was doing some reading and people ate always complaining about it but not putting in thr amounts they're taking. | Why isn't anyone stating their dosage amount? Just saying how bad they feel and maybe your taking way too much ya think? | F | 52 | 1 days 75 | 2/15/2016 | 1 | Back pain | Zombie state, unable to function on Daily task such as work. Memory loss. Insomnia, drowsiness,head felt fogged. | Started on 50mg 1 day and slowly moved up to 75mg 3 times a day. Now im scared to take one pill. Rather be in pain than drugged feeling. | M | 42 | 1 months 50-75 | 2/14/2016 | 1 | Severee fybromyalga and leg pain | I started taking 50mg 2x day for 3 weeks( sample pack).then I filled my prescription for 75mg for 3xday.I had taken my last 2 caps of 50mgs and took my 1st dose of 75mg and within an hr all hell broke loose.so...for the day I had a total of 175ngs..
