Medications should not be the only approach you take in treating your conditions. Treating from several different angles is usually the most effective.

To help with your fibromyalgia you may consider some of the recommendations found in this book. Trigger point therapy can do wonders in calming down your pain.

I take lyrica and and opiod medication for sciatica. Main side effect for me is blurry vison, dizziness, memory is impaired, dry mouth with dry lips and constipation. I have also had a hard time mentally only due to the nature of my pain and how it causes me to not fucntion physically 100%. Wirhout this medictaion id be in quite alot of pain. Lucky for me i only take this when and only when i really need it so i dont become reliant on it. What ever your pain make sure to get professional advice, move as often as you can safely and dont sit or lay down longer than you should. This is keeping me from my joints becoming stiff.

I was on it for 16 years & it helped. But the past 10 yrs I took it, it was bc I was addicted 2 them. It was so hard 2 come off of, but I finally did & I've been clean a year!

[christinecarlson]

I started taking it 60 days ago and noticed pain relief a week later. I've had chronic back pain on and off for 23 years. Lately it was so bad that I could barely move. My back was spasming all the time but this calmed it down quickly. I feel so good. I have noticed I am tired and could sleep all day. It's difficult to wake up. I was taking50 mg of Trazadone to help my body relax so that I could get into a deep sleep. I broke the pill in half and take that now so I can wake up easier. That has helped a lot. I am so grateful to have a better outlook on life.

I take pregabalin 2 years now for the chronic pain. Nota single side effect beside making my pain disappear. I am really happy and working to lower the dose for family planning. Really hard to reducr since is the one thing that helps me function. It's tough

[katrinafurlong]

I have spinal cord compression due to buldging and herniated discs in my neck ..Lyrica started working for me on day 1. I will deal with the side effects this has been a lifesaver for me. Weight gain hahahah I have no appetite so I think I'm good

[foxxxyontop]

I’m a lifer of extreme spinal cord injury . Living with no disc to speak of cervical and lumbar pinched nerves . 5 surgeries and then a horrific auto accident . My nerves are on fire it’s my first day on lyrica was in gabapentin for years had relief but no life I slept a lot . Then my pain attacked my neck face legs every month. First day on lyrica no side effects. Positive note I was awake all day and had energy accomplished alot and still burning . I like the no sleepy . Doc says in a week I’ll feel no burning to get through the change in medication . I’m on ice to calm it down . Sever burning

[caroljones]

I take this for my burning and pain and numbness in my legs and feet and this works great. I was taking Gabpention and I was over dosing myself and was sleeping all the time. I was taking OxyContin 10 three times a day. Now I am taking Lyrical 50mg at night and Tramadol 50mg four times a day and I am doing wonderful and I am not drowsy 💤.

[jasonwoodbury]

I take it for 3 things #1 low back pain... #2 anxiety... #3 depression.. works great for all 3

[VladBaez]

Hands down the best med I have ever tried for anxiety...I love it

[rajyalaxmichapgaon]

Pregabalin for 1 month did help with my peripheral neuropathy, although the side effect constipation was trying. The high and sleep were a bonus, though.

[stephaniefeiockrealtor]

I took it for a year, starting at
50mg working up to 150mg…it didn’t help my Fibromyalgia and nerve pain enough to tolerate the side effects. It did cause a high, the constipation was horrid. I stopped taking it 2 months ago and actually feel better without it.

[ccxfrank]

My doc prescribed me this for the exact reason he stated. In hopes it stops the pain from my pancrestitis

[klemcio]

I'm on pregabalin for over a year and it helped with my anxiety greatly. My dose is 450mg and I have never felt any side effects besides a lot of headache at the beginning of taking it. The only thing I'm scared that it will be hard to come off of this medication.

[jamespmullin]

The euphoria is some freedom from pain.

[terex]

Best thing I ever did was stop taking Pregabalin. No more vertigo, a lot less back pain can breathe easier and I lost 2 stone in weight.and no more ocular migraines. It did not kill the nerve pain at all.

[micmic]

I started taking lyrica 21/2 months ago. Today, after a meltdown yesterday, a Doctor I'd never seen before said stop taking it immediately. After taking it for about 3 weeks, increasing dosage by 75mg each week, I became stupid, confused, dizzy. In fact, about 2 weeks ago, I was going to do something when the symptoms hit me. I knew I was going to do fairly important in my yard, but then the disorientation and confusion hit. I turned around in a circle about 3 times, couldn't remember what my goal was, so I went back inside. I'm still not sure what my mission was that day. Lyrica side effects aren't all benign.

[shelltappintoes]

Thanks so much for this video. I think I have something called brachial neuritis. The nerves shooting down my arms with electric pain unlike any pain I’ve ever known. I sure hope this Lyrica helps me. I think I need more mg but I know I need to start conservatively. After a few days of 50mg twice a day, I’m not getting much relief. Trying to be patient. 🙏🏼

[TrevorEMPF]

I don’t understand. I take 600mg/day and known to have taken 1200mg for the severe anxiety. It is an amazing medication. I am now anxiety free and have a clear mind and feel smarter for having the abilities to think well. I acknowledge that weight again has been an issue but then cycling for an hour from 5am each morning HELPS! I used to feel worse when I was on 15mg/day on Valium. I hate Diazepam. Pregabalin has given me my life back and control.
