Does Anyone Taking Lyrica Have Memory Loss? (Page 24)
(Newest replies first)

I have been on Lyrica for about 8 months now and I am having fantastic results. My dr is trying to increase my dosage and I have been doing it in 50 mg increments. I am up 100 more now in a month, for a total dosage of 400mg. I find that I have very bad recall and loss of my vocabulary during conversation. It eventually goes away, but I was wondering if anyone else has this? If it keeps up, I just may have to drop back down 50mg until I get used to it? That seemed to work that last time I had to raise it.BTW, I have nerve pain in my ribcage. (not caused by shingles)

Yes, this is a common side effect for most people taking this drug, however, these side effects usually do ease or wear off entirely, once your body adjusts to the medication.

I'm running into the same problems as you-memory loss, stumbling on words, loss of some vocab, etc. Although it is totally frustrating, I will stay on my meds if they work well enough.

I have to say that I have had the same side effect! I thought it was just middle age coming, but that sounds so much better. I can't remembert alot of things lately. Also, I lose words, and peoples names in conversation, so, you are not alone! But, I'll stay a dummy, because Lyrica has kept me out of the ER for about 6 mos. now.

It is a possible reaction to this med, it is listed as a side effect that you should see your doctor about if you experience it. You can see it in the monograph listing here: Pregabalin Details

Have you consulted your doctor on this? There are other meds, of a similar nature, that work on the same types of pain, that you might be able to try instead.
