 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

 1  Severe back and leg pain This medication scares me. When it states in the guidelines not sure how it works? Okay..maybe it shouldn't be on the market! I felt off center...dizzy...sleepy and had non stop buzzing in my ears. I took a horrible fall one evening while out with friends because of this medication. I hate taking meds...nothing relieves my pain...Not Aleve or arthritis strength Tylenol. My doctor recommended neurotin....no way! Sorry to say Lyrica is another pharma drug that has the potential to do more harm then good!!! Be wary...do your homework before taking this or any other "miracle" medication. F 63 2 weeks

 2  Polyneuropathy Irrational thoughts, dispare, stomach and GI irregularity, intermittent vision issues. I have a good doctor. My doctor believes in low and slow. My polyneuropathy pain seems to move between 5 thru 10 depending on my amount of exhaustion from poor sleep. I was a lap swimmer as of 2 yrs ago. I returned swimming at the same time I started Lyrica. The lower pain levels throughout my body could be a function of my swimming, the drug or both. I plan on discontinuing the drug because of the irrational thoughts and GI issues. I plan on not missing a day of swimming, so the pain level over the next 3 weeks will indicate whether the swimming is responsible for the lower pain levels. If the pain goes back up, I most likely will find a way to get medical marijauna. I tried it while I was on vacation in Denver and it worked at lowering the pain 30 minutes after taking the capsule. Reading the postings only demonstrates to me that the drug poses as a high risk. I am unable to trust it... M 57 4 weeks

 1  spinal stenosis, chronic pain. Although Lyrica helped in the beginning with electrical zaps down my right arm and hand, the foggy drunk feeling was terrible. I started having trouble sleeping, spasms in my right hand so bad I couldn't hold a fork or brush my hair. I gained 20 lbs but wasn't eating differently. I developed headaches, memory problems, fluid retention, dry mouth and eyes, low energy, loss interest in sex. I couldn't afford the 501.00 cost for thirty day supply so went of Lyric. Oh man, I am still suffering from withdrawal from this awful drug! Such as... weird nervous shakes and explosive zapping in my head which wakes me up, it's really a scary feeling! Nausea, anxiety, sweats like menopause, agitation. Horrible, nasty drug! Don't take this drug. Doctors are pushing it without knowing drug side effects or they're afraid to give patients pain medication. I'll never take this drug or any drug like it ever again! F 66 6 months

Drs thought it a severe infection but found nothing. It was the Lyrica - the worst most dangerous drug on the market! It should be banned!! It should be outlawed!!! M 75 5 days

 1  Narrowing of the nerve Strange vision as though I am high dizzy and floaty. Trouble swallowing. Feeling like I am short of breath. Tired dizzy weak and out of sort. I feel like I am going to die. Abolutely awful Lyric helped the pain but I have stopped for a month now. Until I read about the effects I thought I my be suffering from anxiety. These symptoms started about 2 weeks after I stopped taking lyrica. I am usually confident healthy and happy and now I am desperately trying to be normal. I would rather back pain than go through this. F 42 5 months
