Just started Lyrica. I have Fibromyalgia and nerve pain in feet and legs, also insomnia. 75 mgs twice daily. So far it has helped me sleep so good at night, and when I wake up I’m refreshed and not at all sleepy. My mood had improved and it’s really helped my nerve pain. Hope it continues to work this well.’

I am on Lyrica for about two months and it does help my fibromyalgia pain tremendously… Sleeping so much better… I have severe knee pain, and it helps somewhat with that… Because of the good sleep, I am able to do my ministry to nursing home residence… My thinking is very clear so that makes my want to use may be more than I can do so… I would say Lyrica has been a game changer for me as I’m able to do so much more Than I did before. I studied the side effects. I have some fogginess. I work hard on that just getting busy thinking and then I have a little imbalance and I’m working on balance exercises and exercise class for that and that seems to be helping tremendously! I would like to hear some more happy stories about taking Lyrica… I thought this great talk was especially great… Great information and direct! Good luck with everyone else taking Lyrica!❤😊

I have a question I hope you can help me. I have been put on pregabalin for generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder and psychosomatic symptoms. This medication has been amazing for me, I also have autism and adhd and I seen someone else say it’s helped with their adhd symptoms and it’s really calmed my racing thought process down. I haven’t had a panic attack since taking this medication and I was having them multiple times a day before. I did take some convincing and a lot of trial and error to be prescribed pregabalin, but I’m worried my doctor will one day stop giving me it, can it be used long term for severe anxiety? Honestly I feel amazing I’ve went back to work, started to look after myself more and get out more without feeling anxious. I’m scared to go back to how. I was before I had this medication

Have history of major depression in 2021 two mid 2022. Recently, I was prescribed Lyrica for back pain, I took it for eight days and decided to come off of it and now my major depression has come back for a month now and I’m taking Prozac antidepressant.

How can I fix the problem of depression that Lyrica induced??

Extremely informative learnt a lot from your presentation 😃

Hi there l hope you see this and give me your thoughts PLEASE.

Diagnosed with fibromyalgia but have managed to stay off medication until now, though the rheumatologist suggested pregabalin or gabapentin should l need pain relief. 2yrs on l now having lots of back pain all over width and breadth and burning sensation centre spine. I think l have bechets (or something equally rare) but am undiagnosed. Do you forsee any complications taking either with bechets whilst I'm trying to get my symptoms looked at again? I already suffer dizziness, tinnitus one ear and abdominal pains, high ferritin 297, b12 1807 and esr 25 ck 700 egfr70 alt34 mcv also raised (can't remember figure), any thoughts REALLY APPRECIATED.

What about peripheral neuropathy my doctor put me on it for peripheral neuropathy. however, she put me on 25 mg at night and to increase it in a week to 50 but 25 mg worked well enough for me. It is not completely 100% gone, but I can go to sleep without the severe discomfort that I had prior to that and if I will stay on 25 mg for as long as I possibly can.

[chilelindo]

Thank you for the comprehensive explanation !

Can Lyrica cause leg pain? I started Lyrica a few weeks ago, and I've started having pain in the shin area of my right leg.

[sharonramsey]

Sounds good, but a great deal of the population in the North of Ireland have become addicted to this drug sadly many have died of overdose. This is a highly dangerous drug which has taken the lives of so many. A question few people ask is not the drug but why the need. What is wrong with society today and why is this not being looked at?

[baileysice]

Thanks so much for this... I've just been prescribed it for fibromyalgia. I haven't taken any as yet and tbh l think I'll pass for now! 🙏🏾

I use Lyrica for my anxiety and fobia. I feel a bit dizzy (so my mom thinks I drink something) but it HELPS! I also take Xanax for years now and this two drugs are the best thing on world 🌎

Thank you! I have an employee that was just prescribed this medication. The extreme side effects and or allergic reactions are tragic! I thought they were on heroin, nodding out and falling to sleep standing up! I'm having them talk to their physician.
