| 1 | generalised anxiety and insomnia | Weight gain (mostly water retention) Tried everything couldnt shift the weight Brain feels like in a constant fog memory gone!! | First few months did wonders for sleep and anxiety but in the last few months weight gain is to much and no energy to do anything want my old self back Im on day 5 cold turkey i would have to say this is hell, mentally depressed and just out of it, last days have been a blur ! i would seriously think twice before taking lycria | M | 31 | 7 months 25 1X day | 12/11/2014 | 1 | overactive nerve | Occasional blurred vision, severe weight gain, extremely dry skin, splitting nails, anxious, swollen ankles, overly forgetful, sometimes can't think of what word to use, sadness/depression, insomnia but at other times just feel like I am looking on at the world, not much emotional connect with anything. | IDr. Started me on 50MG 2×daily. 6 weeks ago changed to 50MG 1xday. Can't recommend drug. It is a very harsh drug. Want off of it. If any Dr. reads this please, please, help take this drug off the market. Many of us need relief and trust our Dr. but this drug is very questionable. | F | 63 | 6 months 50MG | 12/9/2014 | 2 | Pain relief | This drug worked somewhat for the first 1-2 years I was on it. Then it stopped working, and produced side effects like swelling of my feet and legs, but my doctors refused to take me off it. Eventually, I got mad and took myself off it. Withdrawal is nasty - I don't know how they can keep saying this stuff is better than narcotics, because the withdrawal from this was longer and just as intense. | F | 40 | 10 years 150 mg 2X day | 12/8/2014 | 1 | pudendal neuralgia | Wanted to kill myself. Had thoughts of suicide. Never ever had thoughts of things like this before Lyrica. Did not help my pain at all either. | Extremely expensive | F | 33 | 6 months a lot | 12/7/2014 | 1 | neuropathy | Allergic reaction, mouth, tongue and neck swelling. Withdrawl symptoms are a Bitch. This is a toxic drug. | F | 48 | 3 weeks 80 | 12/6/2014 | 1 | Seizure control | Every negative side effect on their website. Go to FB page Lyrica survivors. On it felt like a zombie. Off it I was a raging a hole, serious withdrawal symptoms for 6 months. 5 trips to ER and 4 hospitalizAtions. Took 2 full years off it to get back to normal - but others have had permanent damage. If coming off it go VERY slow!!! Drs don't know how to deal with this drug!!! I compare it to LSD and how it can affect you for years. | Don't take it!!! If your on it wean off Very, very, very slowly. Use natural remedies like chiropractor - lots of water - acupuncture. | M | 45 | 3 months 150 2x | 12/2/2014 | 1 | Pain | LYRICA made me sick and put me in the hospital. I thought I was going insane. Suicidal level depression, insomnia, diarrhea ect. Doctors suck for not catching it. | LYRICA SUCKS!!!! | M | 48 | 60 days 450MG 1X day | 12/1/2014 | 1 | Sciatica | Forgetfulness numbness in arms and hands feeling of being drunk high disoriented headaches sleeplessness unable to concentrate | Would not recommend this drug! | F | 50 | 4 years 400 mg | 12/1/2014 | 1 | CRPS | Dizzy, No short term memory, headaches, too many to list. | stay away from this drug its dangerous and will kill you. | M | 42 | 3 months 150 2X day | 11/29/2014 | 1 | Nerve Pain | Cant talk walk or stay awake, vivid nightmares, falling down, major confusion, zombie like state,major weight gain | My aunt has been on Lyrica for one month and it has been a nightmare!!! Her speech is so off no one can make out what she's saying, if she's not sleeping she looks like she's about to fall out, she can't walk straight, keeps falling and passing out. She got so confused one night she was convinced that her now 28yr old daughter was a child again and missing, then she thought she saw blood all over her grandson. Her memory is really bad. She will be right in the middle of doing something then just stops with her eyes closed, like she's frozen, sh'e gained a lot of weight and her face arms and hands are so swollen not to mention she can't urinate for days at a time.My aunt takes care of her 10yr old grandson 24/7 how can any respectful Dr put anyone who has children on a medication like this, it should be against the law. If yr going to take Lyrica PLEASE read everything you can about it, don't just take yr Dr's word for it, being on it is bad enough but it's even worse when you try to come off of it | F | 54 | 1 months 75 MG 3X day | 11/22/2014 | 1 | RSD | My sister was on this for nerve pain. Recently her Dr increased her dosage. She committed suicide last week. Over the past year she's thought about death a lot. is there a study of how many people this has happened to? Class action? Anything? Awful drug! | F | 45 | 3 years | 11/19/2014 | 1 | Peripheral neuropathy | Aphasia, blurred vision, depression. Suicidal ideation. No pain relief | Some people swear by it. I just swear at it. | F | 72 | 8 days 60 MG | 11/17/2014 | 5 | fibromyalgia nerve pain/ anxiety | Unsteady feeling at first/ sweating | Lyrics is a miracle drug. It helps,with different types of pain I have. And also is absolutely great for anxiety attacks works better then any benzodiazepine. Also has given me my sex drive back. | F | 32 | 4 months 300mg | 11/10/2014 | 5 | nerve compression | This stuff is awesome. It took an hour to get rid of the pain I've had for years. I couldn't believe it. I didn't need to go to a higher dose so I just take one when I need it, about every 12 hrs. I feel a little wobbly at moments but it doesn't last long. I was concerned about anxiety and nightmares because of my past but I feel happy. Sorry for the people it didn't work out for. I needed this year's ago. | F | 48 | 3 weeks 100 mg pd | 11/7/2014 | 1 | Fibromyalgia.
