Lyrica Class Action Lawsuit (Top voted first)

Updated

If you have had an adverse reaction to Lyrica, please contact a law firm. I just called mine and gave them my basic information, and they will be having a lawyer contact us. This drug is dangerous, deadly, and should be pulled from the market. Amomg all the usual issues, today i noticed a new one had been added. For males, sperm motility can be affected and children created by parents using Lyrica, there is the possibility of birth defects. Please call and at least get on record with this firm. The more of us who call and tell our stories, the more likely it is that the drug company is going to have to cover our medical expenses, pain and suffering, etc.

I was but on LYRICA in 2008ish for fibromyalgia. 2010 was increased and again in 2012. As the years went on my health went down hill along with worsening depression. I committed suicide in 2012. I say I committed because I was found no heartbeat and no pulse, it wasn't a try. My councilor would kill me if she knew I said that. Anyways, I was found and CPR done, what did they do, increased my LYRICA. I gained a crap load of weight, legs and feet so swollen for a week at a time before able to just get out for one day. Ended up with pericardial effusion and plural effusion. I want to know also is there any current lawsuits going on. I live in Rhode Island. Please help, who do I call?

I am NC and need a lawyer as well. Lyrica has essentially ruined my life. I am covered with lipomas and my memory is wretched... and burning legs -- horrible exhaustion- and my rheumatologist said if I was on 300 mg I would feel better and could lose weight because I would "feel better"- sure whatever...... This drug needs to be PULLED.

Unfortunately all of us who have had terrible side effects from Lyrica are all looking for the same thing, a lawyer who will take this drug company on. For those who are not familiar with the drug company Pfizer, it is the biggest maker in the United States. I think most lawyers are afraid of them and have a preconceived notion that a lawsuit against them will be lost anyway so they don't want to get involved. I read they were sued sometime around 2012-2013 and the class action suit is closed. I'm not sure if we can open another or not. But I will not give up looking. I think with your doctors approval of course you should consider stopping the Lyrica. For most all of us on this thread have had many of our symptoms go away and then there are others who have permanent medical conditions. Please discuss with your doctor if you are having side effects!! Stopping it is the easiest part. Having so many mental and physical effects is the hardest part.

Unfortunately my lawyer doesn't handle class action lawsuits but gave me the name of another lawyer who does. I contacted them and they replied "we are not taking anymore Lyrica cases at this time". Another road block but the way they said that it made me think something is up. I'm still looking.

I hear ya. Looking for one too. I'm from Rhode Island. They kept telling me I had neurapathy in my feet which I knew I didn't as my husband is a diabetic and has that and our symptoms were nothing like each other. My feet burned so bad. Felt like I was walking on black hot tare barefoot. If you hear of anything on a current lawsuit, please share. I'm thinking of just calling a malpractice lawsuit attorney to see if they know. First consult is always free.

Will keep you posted if I find anything out. Can't believe they want you to go on it a again just to prove it especially with what you went through. I have a lawyer here in Rhode Island that handled my disability case. I am going to contact them as they also handle malpractice and personal injury. We will all get to the bottom of this with team work!

I had two epidurals for very bad sciatica which did not help. My Dr. put me on Lyrica for the nerve pain before and after my L5-S1 back surgery. I had to quit Lyrica cold turkey because after a week of my hands swelling, I developed a rash, feet swelling, and my throat and tongue started to swell. This is all started after being on Lyrica for 2 1/2 months, and I developed this allergic reaction.
The first week after stopping consisted of severe night sweats, shakes, nightmares, memory loss and nausea. Week two the sweats, nightmares and the shakes stopped, but now I have symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (which I never had before starting this horrible drug) and severe nausea. Which I guess the nausea can be a good thing to help lose the weight I gained while on Lyrica, lol.
I am afraid to go back to the doctor to help with the RA symptoms that have appeared, not to mention some of the pain from the sciatica has returned. Right now I can't lift my right arm and I can't bend my thumb on my left hand. Yesterday all my fingers on my right hand were so sore, swollen and red that I couldn't even hold a single piece of paper without wincing in major pain. Today the right hand is completely fine.
It has been 3 weeks since quitting Lyrica, but I never know from one day to the next how much pain I will now be in. I have tried to do research about the side effects of quitting cold turkey and am not having much luck. All the sites just say to not quit cold turkey.
I never knew the effects of quitting Lyrica, but if I had, I would have never started. I can only compare this to coming off of a hard narcotic.
Does anyone know if there is a new class-action lawsuit happening? They do not tell you about the affects of stopping or coming off of Lyrica. I am trying to pass the word on to anyone who will listen to never start taking this drug.

Go online and look up side effects. It does mention suicidal ideation, print it and show her. If that doesn't work go to your divorce lawyer and tell the ex wife is keeping the kids from you. Especially if there was visitation rights signed off by the judge. This is just hurting the kids by putting them in the middle. I don't know how long it was until I was found and CPR started. Not long or I either would have had brain damage do to lack of oxygen or CPR wouldn't have worked. I woke up in ICU sometime the next day and was immediately send to a mental hospital before I was even completely awake or a where I had broken ribs from CPR. It took two days before the mental hospital (total joke that place was) to believe me and take xrays. My doctor just increased the Lyrica. I was on 500mg three times a day for another 3 years before I choose to go off. Before that I was on a lower does for 3 years. I lost 6 years of my life including my job when I committed to this drug. Maybe we should be suing doctors for medical malpractice and personal injury. I think I'm going to look into that too. Best of luck. Fight to see your kids!!!

If no one is willing to take on the manufacturer then why not your doctor. Pull your medical records. Did you report the negative side effects to your Dr? That better be in your records. My Kaiser practitioner was good enough to summarize my side effects down to "patient reports confusion."
It's negligence. Record your Dr visit and compare to your records.... then call a malpractice or injury attorney!!!!!

What law firm did you contact? I would be very interested in talking with them and maybe we can get a class action suit started so they will change how they prescribe Lyrica and at least warn about the side effects they don't list on their warning.

I have spoken with Slater and Gordon here in Australia, and they are wanting to speak with people in Australia who have/have had issues with Lyrica, as they are looking into the possibility of a Class Action against Pfizer.
