| 4 | Pain fibromyalgia, nerve impingemen | Sleepiness more often. | It helps amazingly with opioid withdrawal. It helps nerve pain immensely. I honestly just use it as needed rather than taking on schedule around the clock, that seems to do the trick. Doesn't help with musculoskeletal pain though,only nerve pain. | M | 43 | 2 years 200mg 2X day | 12/16/2022 | 1 | Fibromyalgia herniated disc | Forgetting words. Blurred vision. Zero concentration. Huge weight gain. Swollen ankles and legs | Helped at the beginning and helped me sleep at 25mg then increased to 50mg then 75mg each time effects wore off. At beginning of 75mg ankles and feet become swollen and painful . Quitting this drug | F | 68 | 6 days 75 2X day | 11/13/2022 | 1 | Fibromyalgia, nerve pain | When you first start taking Lyrica it does help but it wears off. I believe it helps because if it is the side effects of taking the drug that helps eventually it stops working all together and then you're stuck with this long miserable agonizing withdrawal of reducing the dose gradually and being in torment. Mental and physical torment. You're actually worse than you ever started out being. Some of you out there will be tempted to try it and I'm just saying I swear to you it's a terrible drug. | F | 61 | 2 days 600 mg 3X day | 9/11/2022 | 3 | Neuropathic pain & fibromyalgia | Thanks to Lyrica I am on my feet since a year and I do not feel excruciating pain in the head. However, I have become a very aggressive person, almost dangerous to my family. I have anger attacks that come out of nowhere and then either I need to explode (usually by fighting with husband and breaking glasses) either to implode (this causes severe derpession and lots of tears). Severe loss of concentration. When in 600mg I had difficulties to articulate (got humiliated in front of people on a dining table) and I went down to 400 mg. Loss of memory. | Mood problems. Sadness, feeling of hate, wanting to hurt other people. When in an anger attack I recognize it and I scream for help but there is nobody there to retain me and calm me down. I am quite alone in all this. Hope anger does not persist. Going to cut it soon. | F | 34 | 13 months 400 2X day | 8/13/2022 | 1 | Fibromyalgia | SEVERE DEPRESSION | No pain relief at all | F | 55 | 45 days 30 | 11/11/2021 | 3 | Fibromyalgia | Weight gain vicous circle fatiged tinnitus | F | 51 | 6 months 25mg 1X day | 5/16/2021 | 1 | Fibromyalgia | PERMANENT TINNITUS | Developed tinnitus after three weeks. 2 years later it’s still there. Extremely loud and intrusive. Ruined my life! | F | 37 | 3 weeks 75mg 1X day | 1/19/2021 | 1 | Fibromyalgia | Moody, angry, not myself, ear ringing, worsening fibro pain, felt terrible if I didn't take it on time | I was so excited because this worked so well for the first week.... And then it completely stopped working, I was so weak and tired already and it made me really drowsy. I tried to only take it at night but even after only 3 weeks I could tell I was having withdrawals. | F | 31 | 1 months 75 2X day | 8/30/2020 | 1 | Fibromyalgia/nerve damage | Weight gain, fluid retention, cognitive impairment, fatigue, drowsiness | Withdrawls from Lyrica were as bad as withdrawals from Xanax. I had hallucinations, and possibly even a seizure. It was hell. This is a terrible drug that should be taken off the market. | M | 40 | 6 months 100 3X day | 8/7/2020 | 5 | Fibromyalgia | No side effects | Better balance !No pain but The burning on my feet Is less | F | 64 | 10 days 25mg 3 Tim | 6/17/2020 | 1 | Fibromyalgia | Foggy brain Memory issues Depression Weight gain | 58 | 75 days 225mg 4x d | 4/19/2020 | 4 | Fibromyalgia, nerve pain | I was instructed to take at night time, but One time I took during the day and was on slow motion all day. I can hardful talk and be understood. At night I do have nightmares but I wakeup relax and with 70% of my pain not gone but much less pain. It the best results I had ever. Need my Lyrica | I had Stopping using Lyrica because of insurance issue and the next day without Lyrica cause side effect immediate. I had headache, heart accelerate, nauseous, dizziness, anxiety and sleepless. | F | 60 | 2 years 300mg | 8/10/2019 | 1 | Fibromyalgia | Bad initial side effects when I started in 2012, extreme headaches, can still remember them clearly and extreme fatigue, I would literally sleep for 20 hours and wake up for an hour and then start the process again, this went on for months and no one knew what was wrong with me. So going forward to 2019, I have had 29 surgery’s since then, abscess all over my body, head to toe and only after recently watching a documentary about junkies, it’s the same as what junkies and meth heads get. I have been trying to get off this medication for about a year now and am down to the final 150mg, however even doing withdrawal over this period is a waste of time as when you get to the final 150mg, all the symptoms start again and it’s a bad balancing game . I would love to know if any of of the manufacturers have used this drug or would like there family’s too give it a go, it sucks and flooded the Uk market with none of the advertisements and warnings that the USA had, our doctors heard it worked on nerve pain and gave it a go on patients. | Don’t take unless you’re happy to be on it for life with horrible side effects that are not widely diagnosed in the Uk, just put down to your initial diagnosis. I look like the elephant man some days, I haven’t had a normal life in years.... I wouldn’t be as pissed off if I hadn’t had a single abscess until I started taking the Pregabalin, not one doctor to this date has put two and two together.... I have had a few significant mental breakdowns and again nothing before the pregabaline use. | M | 30 | 7 years 600-300 | 6/5/2019 | 3 | Fibromyalgia | It works so very well for the pain and anxiety. However it's so very expensive and not possible to just suddenly stop taking it, at least in my case it's not. But it's the only medication that has helped me. | Must slowly taper down or it could make you extremely sick. Achey all over, constant sweating, vomiting and diarrhea. Major insomnia and constant anxiety attacks and heart palpitations. | F | 32 | 8 years 150 | 6/1/2019 | 1 | Fibromyalgia | Burning pain, pins and needles, blurred vision, feeling too high to drive, constipation, manic, rash | Stopping this drug has given me unbelievable pain. Involuntary muscle movements, pins and needles and buzzing, weakness, brain zaps, spasms, twitches, and more. I took my last pill 10 days ago and it’s still going on. Couldn’t get out of bed for 4 days. Pure poison. | F | 38 | 19 days 75 mg | 5/25/2019 | 1 | Fibromyalgia Neuropathy Bursitis RA | At first I took 75 mg. It helped but still had pain. Increased to 120 mg after about a year. Quickly notice confusion but pain mostly gone. I suddenly look 40 years older thinner hair vision blurred to seeing double. I see dips in pages I read now. A year ago I had 20/20 vision. | 1 decided to ween myself off Lyrica and all prescribed medications. Trying swimming daily.with Aveil. Do not recommend Lyrica to anyone. Especially those with drug use history. | F | 59 | 4 years 120 mg | 3/17/2019 | 1 | Fibromyalgia Neuropathy Bursitis RA | At first I took 75 mg. It helped but still had pain.

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 150 | 12/4/2018 | 5 | Fibromyalgia | Breast tenderness | Miracle drug for unexplained nerve pain! | F | 54 | 4 weeks 200 mg | 9/26/2018 | 1 | Fibromyalgia | major loss of memory, confusion, lack of ability to do simple tasks | it has been 10 years and I am still having these problems, however 6 specialists and 1 PCP have me on 18 medications. Could this be part of the problem???? lol | F | 68 | 2 years 100mg 3X day | 6/6/2017 |
