My stepdad quit, but my mom continued as she claimed to always be in pain. A year ago (after she began to take Lyrica) she began acting peculiar in manner and speech----to the point that my family and neigbors began suspecting early Alzheimers. She somehow (on her own)decreased her use of Lyrica and today seems fairly lucid and able to communicate and function in a safer manner. | I am very concerned about this drug and the way it is being prescribed to senior citizens who happen to have good insurance and typical pain complaints for the age group. | | 4/27/2009 | 1 | Fibromyalgia. Nerve pain. | Nightmares nightly, gained 2 stone, water retention, urinary retention,chest pain, insomnia. | I have stopped taking it. Lyrica did not touch the pain I am in.
