I had a thoracic outlet syndrome operation with severe brachial plexis nerve inflammation pain post opt. Lyrica was a miracle and addressed the pain that oxycodone did not.

I have read most of the comments and hardly any were good. I have other mental conditions , so I don't have the side effects of this drug. I already suffer from depression and anxiety, so I take pills to control that. This drug has helped me so much I can't believe it. Some days my pain was so bad I could hardly move!

I have read most of the comments and hardly any were good. I have other mental conditions , so I don't have the side effects of this drug. I already suffer from depression and anxiety, so I take pills to control that. This drug has helped me so much I can't believe it. Some days my pain was so bad I could hardly move! I still have some of those days still, but once I take the Lyrica I feel much better. I do get light headed at times and seem to be off balance, but that goes away pretty quickly. They have to keep giving me a higher dosage due to the fact that the effects wear off over time. I am now starting the max dosage they can give me. I will be on 200 mg three times a day, so hopefully this will not wear off like the other dosages. All I can say now I that I am happy with the drug and I hope it will help others to.

WARNING - TO ALL USERS OF THIS DRUG - IT IS ADDICTIVE. I stopped taking lyrica, because of the cost and I went into terrible withdrawal - severe headache, nausea, chills, restless legs,anxiety. I was never made aware of this. Now I am trying to wean off of this drug. It is a very slow process - go very slowly. I've deceased my dose by months not by days. The withdrawal is too horrific. ...

I have genital pain and began taking Lyrica, 75mg, twice a day. After 2 weeks this medication reduced my pain significantly. At the same time, I noticed an increasing depression. By week 4 I was so depressed all I could think about was wanting to be dead. I had to quit the Lyrica. It worked great on the pain, but the side effect was definitely not worth it.
