Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I took Lyrica for all of two days and the side effects I experienced were terrible. Please read through these TWO pages of Lyrica side effects. Some of them are quite horrific. While the stuff may help some pain, it also can cause other pain. Makes me wonder what it actually does to the entire body. Hair loss? Suicidal feelings?

Hair loss? Suicidal feelings? Geez Hi Lyndi It's interesting that in the advertisements that Lyrica is not just an nerve pain, it is used to help control some types of seizures, epilepsy, to name one. Lyrica, is a psych medication. That's one reason why it can cause suicidal feelings. Anytime, you start taking a medication like this, do it very carefully. Have someone who lives with you, or sees frequently monitor your behavior. This holds true for any type of psych medication, including anti-seizure medications. Be very careful. I take Lyrica, but my only signs have been brain fog. It helps me so much, that I find it worth the problem Now, I did loss some hearing that has not returned when I took Neurontin your behavior. I took Prozac, when it first came out, and within a week I was suicidal, and ended up in the Psych ward for awhile. This happened with a few other anti-depression medications, because I have bipolar disorder. Kaylene Be very careful what you swallow.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Lyrica induced neuropathy in my feet. The Neurologist told me there was no way, but low and behold as soon as I weened off of it, my foot pain went away. So there is a way, and it happened to me. Yes, we all must be very careful with these type meds. It also sent me into depression which isn't hard to do with all this pain.
