| 1 | Neuromuscular pain | Coordination difficulties (rubbery feeling limbs); fogginess; confusion; memory impairment; cognitive impairment; inability fo concentrate or pay attention; sense of alienation from environment. | I have tried this using this drugs twice -- about 5 years apart. Each time, I had to discontinue it -- the effects were terrible. If there was any benefit, it was minimal. This is the weirdest scariest drug I have ever tried. | M | 64 | 15 days 100 2X day | 2/23/2017 | 1 | Sciatica disk problems | This drug has ruined my life. I have constant anxiety and panic attacks, which I never had before Lyrica Memory is gone, vision is destroyed. Constant stomach problems, dark thoughts suicidal thoughts. | This drug needs to be removed from the public. It will ruin your life! | 60 | 6 months 300 | 2/19/2017 | 1 | Anxiety disorders | Awful scary nasty drug constant panic terrified to leave my bed felt like a zombie couldn't walk properly paranoid just complete worse.

Then the suicidal thoughts and extreme anger started. I took myself off the drug. | Find an alternative | F | 62 | 3 months 150 | 2/5/2017 | 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 | 3 | Fibromialgia | Ganho de peso e nuvem no cérebro | Lyrica é bom para as dores mas o excesso de peso que o paciente ganha acaba por nao ajudar. No espaço de 1 ano aumentei 10 kg | F | 36 | 1 years 150 | 1/31/2017 | 2 | Polymyalgia | Couldn't walk, memory issues. | My 96 yo mother took 2 doses and couldn't walk the next day. Stopped taking it after ten days and the next day back on her feet. One person's cure can be another's poison. | F | 96 | 10 days 50 3X day | 1/28/2017 | 1 | Nerve pain in n my back and neck | Vision declined, hearing declined, memory problems, anxiety, confusion, depression | Dangerous drug I would not recommend to anyone...the withdrawals are horrific too!! | F | 51 | 3 years 100 | 1/28/2017 | 3 | For the numbness an tingling finger | My arms an wrists plus legs have gives that are very itchy and I have inches so much that I have sores. I'm still on the meds and still itching like crazy. Night and day I itch. | F | 42 | 3 weeks 75mg 3dail | 1/14/2017 | 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 | 4 | Anxiety from opiate withdrawal. | Dizziness when walking. Also talkative giddiness not too different from what's experienced in a slight alcohol intoxication. | Used Lyrica to get me by during abstinence from opiates. Completely allayed the anxiety of withdrawal and mitigated the depression. I think Lyrica holds promise in addiction medicine. | M | 52 | 2 months 150 mg. 1X day | 12/28/2016 | 2 | Anxiety | Foggyness , amnesia , euphoria , mood swings , loss of self control . | Be aware that this drug is addictive , taper down slowly to prevent severe withdrawal symptoms . The withdrawal symptoms can be like a mix of opiate and benzodiazepine withdrawals . Initially it helped me with anxiety , but not worth it considering side effects imo. | 39 | 1 years 450 mg 1X day | 12/28/2016 | 1 | Headaches and neck pain | Pain before was 7-8, pain while taking it decreased to 4-5. Even with the reduction in pain, the complications are not worth it. Even with strict diet and exercise regularly, I gained 30 pounds. I developed vertigo so bad that it brought me to the emergency room. I decreased my dose over 2 months to get off of it safely. Panic, depression, racing heart, sleep issues, dizziness etc. occured while getting off of it. My blood pressure has been permanently increased due to this drug, and i now have to take medicine to keep it under control. No matter what the decrease in pain this drug helped with, it is not worth its long term permanent side effects. It has been almost a year since i last had it in my system, and i still have side effects. | The pain reduction worked for the first 2-3 months, but then the side effects begin. Stopping taking it is worse than the initial pain that you were in. | F | 45 | 10 months 150 mg 2x | 12/28/2016 | 3 | Severe neck shoulder upper back pai | Pain gone or very mild breakthrough. DIZZY! I've taken this medication when I absolutely was in so much pain I had no choice, each time I feel like I drank a bottle of alcohol. Very very dangerous drug if people are not told of these side effects. Stops my pain tho within 30 minutes. | Wow! Pain is gone? But that may be because my head is in such a fog I just don't care about the pain. By all accounts marijuana does the same thing right? But it's illegal and I think this drug needs to be taken care more seriously! | F | 33 | 1 days 75mg x2 | 12/13/2016 | 1 | Fibromyalgia | It worked for my muscle pain but over time I got more forgetful, more clumsy, more not me.7yrs and 1 day I lost it and I went crazy litterally.Im OK now at 29 though | I think I have mental long term effects due to the length of time taking it and the high dosage amount I was prescribed. | F | 29 | 7 years 500mg/day | 12/9/2016 | 1 | Epilepsy | Did not control seizures. Caused overheating. Numbness in hands was experienced. Loss of senses was a big issue. | After taking AEDs for over 41.5 years I must say that I was very disappointed with this med, the major side effects, and the dangers it included. | M | 50 | 2 years 300 1X day | 12/7/2016 | 3 | Fibromyalgia | Lyrica caused depression and I was having suicidal ideation as the months went by. I can't believe I didn't realize it was the Lyrica. I thought it was brought on by a stressful event that was going on.Do your research on side effects.I also was ravenously hungry.I am currently tapering off even though it reduced my pain from a 8/9 to a 4/5.My doctor wants to try Cymbalta next. | F | 48 | 3 months 100mg x2 | 12/5/2016 |
