Lyrica I have herniated discs and sciatica. I was referred to a pain management doctor, who prescribed Lyrica. After reading all of these posts, and finding out the side effects, I'm not sure I want to take this medicine. Has anyone had good results with Lyrica, without these side effects?

Lyrica The Wonder Drug I used to take high doses of narcotics for severe neuropathy pain. That crap almost killed me and destroyed my life, leaving me destitute and homeless. I had to move in with my sister, and then some friends to stay off the street. I have been taking lyrica for several years and it helped, even while on the narcotics. Since going off the narcotics, I hav relied entirely on Lyrica to deal with the pain. My doctor changed my dosage about a month or so ago to 300mg twice a day and soon to 300mg three times a day. The difference has been amazing and the neuropathy pain is almost completely gone while the Lyrica is in effect. I do have some side effects though, like headaches, dizziness, sleepiness but I don't care. Anything is preferable to the pain, except for narcotics. Saturday, 9/26/2009 8:34:06 AM  Post a Reply

Zapping Senation I just started taking Lyrica. First, I was told by my doctor to take 75 mg for 3 evenings, and then I was to increase the dosage on the 4th day. I was to take another 75 mg in the a, so I would be up to 150 mg. The problem is that I woke up during the night after the 4th day, 3 times with a zapping sensation. It felt like my chest area. I decided to stop taking it, and I called my doctor and he wants me to continue with it. He said to take the 75 mg for a week, and then increase it again. He wants to give it a chance. The reason why I'm taking this is because I had a spinal fusion 1/9/08 at levels 3-4, 4-5, and since the surgery I have numbness and a weird feeling in both my legs. The back is better, but I am scared about my legs. Has anyone with a fusion been given this drug for problems in the legs after the surgery? Did you wake up abruptly with a zapping sensation in Chest area? I also notice a grogginess & slight headache taking this drug. Thursday, 9/24/2009 5:54:47 PM  3 Replies

Does Anyone Taking Lyrica Have Memory Loss ? 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) Karel Friday, 9/11/2009 5:42:22 PM  10 Replies

Rash After Quitting Lyrica I took Lyrica (150mg daily) for 2 years. The medicine helped reduce my leg and hip gain greatly. In January I started working out daily and dieting and lost 30 pounds. I gradually have quit taking Lyrica and am having only a small amount of discomfort at times. The problem is that upon quitting the Lyrica the back of my knees started itching and welps appeared after I scratched them. It has been 3 weeks since I stopped taking Lyrica and I am still itchy. Has this happened to anyone else? Could this be a result of nerve damage? Sunday, 8/23/2009 4:39:12 PM  1 Reply
