 3  pain in back and legs If I can wake up long enough to get my next dose I will have a chance to see if the drug works for me! This medication knocks me out for atleast 8 hours each time that I have taken it I will continue to use the Lyrica until I get some relief or until I can no longer stand the tired state that it leaves me in!

 3  chronic low back pain, Neurologist recommended Lyrica for chronic lower back pain. First three days were great, minor pain. After about a week, starting having pain in right upper back, hand, arm, and shoulder. Also starting feeling like a zoombie. Waiting for doctor to call back because the pain seems worse than the lower back pain. I guess this drug works well for some; mostly not well for majority of people. Too many side affects, although my appetite is way down and have lost 3 lbs in these past weeks. F 52 2 weeks

 1  inoperable back/sciatia pain Extreme confusion, dizziness, bruising (leading to serious pre-cancer condition), loss of coordination, unsteadiness and sleep interruption I was prescribed this drug by my pain management clinic. They knew my current meds they were giving me and added lyrica anyway against warnings of drug interactions. When I asked specifically if this was a "newer" version of Neurontin they said no (but it is). Now I have a serious condition due to bruising and also suffered a stroke that may be linked to a fall while taking lyrica. F 63 21 days

 3  Avulsed Brachial Plexus C-5 - T-1/ Weight gain, "foggy feeling", memory loss, constipation, fatigue, depression, suicidal feelings, anxiousness, joint pain. It helped with the nerve pain, but the side effects were too much to take. I've gained 30lbs! It caused such anxiety that I couldn't function without having suicidal thoughts. Severe constipation, but when I was coming off of it (very lowly), it caused severe diarrhea. Be careful if you are to take this drug. Side effects came without warning. F 35 2 years

 2  herniated disc; unknown infection Fuzzy thinking, zombie-like attitude and no motivation (100% contrary to my generally over-achieving, ambitious self). Developed what I can only describe as a semi-voluntary mild form of orofacial dyskinesia. I began taking a small dose of 75mg daily and stepped up over 3 weeks according to the prescription up to 300mg daily. After one month, I was so scared by the changes that I began stepping down to a level that seemed "ok" for me. I continued with the drug for nearly 1 year (150/daily). I still cannot say for certain that all of the side effects are due to Lyrica, since I have been suffering a tooth infection simultaneously, but about 30 days after stopping the drug I began to recognize the "old" me again and feel much better despite ongoing tooth pain.

 1  Fibromyalgia Horrible!! Everything bad that could happen did happen. My husband had to take care of me because I couldn't walk straight. I was so crabby but I didn't realize it myself, and I didn't feel unhappy, just horribly nauseated, vomiting, extra pain in my hands and legs aside from awful abdominal pain. I already have gastroparenthisis because a gastroenterologest damaged my vega nerve so the constipation was almost not fixable. I don't know how this got approved by the FDA. F 59 7 days

 5  Fibromyalgia The first few weeks I was a little lightheaded but nothing compared to the misery I had encountered for the past 2 years.Up until I started taking Lyrica my entire body ached from head to toe including every joint and muscle.I was always fatigued even after a full nights rest.I occasionally get a dry mouth after taking Lyrica but I'll take this over the nightmare I experienced everyday of my life aching from head to toe. For me it was the magic pill that I was looking for. The only concern I have is how long it will work for me? Hopefully it will continue for as long as I need it. The only negative is that it can be expensive without insurance. Thank God for good insurance and RX plan. Good Luck to all those using Lyrica. M 53 90 days
