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! | F | 53 | 2 days 50 2X day | 3/24/2011 | 5 | pain from MS | none | F | 53 | 3 years 200 2X day | 3/23/2011 | 5 | Sciatica | No side effects | F | 42 | 10 months 100MG 2X day | 3/23/2011 | 1 | Fibro | Attempted suicide - jumped through window and was in mental institute for 3.5 weeks. | THIS IS THE WORST DRUG EVER AND SHOULD BE TAKEN OF THE MARKET!!!!!!!!!!!! | F | 46 | 19 days 30mg 1X day | 3/21/2011 | 3 | Fibromyalgia | Migraines | swelling, migraines, eyes very sensitive to light, fatigue. | F | 34 | 14 days 50mg 2X day | 3/19/2011 | 4 | fibromyalgia | at first "high feeling" and occasional dizzyness,hard time having orgasm | I would recommend this to EVERYONE with fibromyalgia. i have had it for years, pain, unable to do the things i use to, chronic knee pain,memory fog, felt like i was literally going crazy,..now i can walk, which helps tremendously, i can run, i can walk up and down the stairs, i experience something new every day that i can do again.!!! very happy with this..have to work on the sexual part though...only negative i have:) | F | 46 | 2 weeks 150 2X day | 3/14/2011 | 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 50mg 1X day | 3/14/2011 | 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 75 2X day | 3/10/2011 | 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 150mg 3X day | 3/6/2011 | 3 | pain due to PBC and herniated discs | initially increased appetite and then headaches as dose increased. | The headaches and weight gain are seriously causing me to consider stopping the drug, which is a real shame as it has really helped my pain. | F | 45 | 3 months 150 1X day | 3/5/2011 | 2 | restless leg syndrome | I have not taken it yet, I read the side effects, I have lung and heart disease. I have to call my heart and lung doc to see if it is ok. Scared me what I read on the effects of the heart and lungs. Any suggestions or has anyone who has had heart and lung problems taken this medicine. Thank you | Had to click on some of these questions in order to submit my question, again, I have not tried it yet | F | 50 | 1 days 50mg 1X day | 3/5/2011 | 4 | diabetic foot pain | Not very many. A few restless nights but alot better than restless nights from the pain. I had not slept the night thru in probably a year until I started taking this med. The only thing is it seems to be waining in effect. | M | 51 | 1 months 50 3X day | 3/2/2011 | 3 | RSD/CRPS | Anal itching, High feeling, Sleepy constantly, Cannot reach orgasm, sexual desire is no longer, | although it has helped with the pain a little the side effects out-way and make me not want to take the medication | F | 26 | 4 days 25mg 2X day | 3/2/2011 | 4 | trigeminal neuralgia | At first, my balance was compromised, then gradually returned to fairly normal. Now, I'm extremely fatigued and wonder if its the Lyrica. A nurse told me she couldn't lose weight with Lyrica, but hasn't been a problem for me. Lost 35 pounds. | Two years | F | 54 | 200 2X day | 2/25/2011 | 1 | chronic pain. | Weight gain which is very depressing. Tired first thing in AM.Cannot have great orgasms any more!! | Does help with one type of my pain. Also, had front upper teeth pain 24/7 which has basically gone away. | F | 61 | 9 months 150 2X day | 2/25/2011 | 5 | herniated dics in neck to low back | Increased appetite | Also helps tremendously with RLS. | F | 49 | 2 years 150mg 3X day | 2/23/2011 | 4 | fibromyalgia | drowsy, little "high feeling". | So far, this medication has really helped my pain. I sleep so much better, not tossing and turning all night. | F | 48 | 2 weeks 75 mg 2X day | 2/17/2011 | 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. | F | 53 | 1 years 150mg 2X day | 2/16/2011 | 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 100mg 3X day | 2/15/2011 | 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 75 2X day | 2/14/2011 |
