Was taking oxcarbazapine for diagnosed peripheral neuropathy. My doctor thought I might benefit from Lyrica. Developed muscle pain and weakness, enlarged and tender breast tissue, poor control of neuro pain.

I just can't use this "wonder" drug so it's back to square one for me.

I have severe neuropathy from Diabetes in my feet mainly. I am taking 600 mg of Lyrica daily and have felt no relief at all. I am at a loss as to where to turn now for pain relief.. its very disheartening.

I just started taking Lyrica 75 twice daily, but my stomach couldn't tolerate the this regimen, so now taking it in morning, after taking Neurotin for many years.

Love the pain relief, it has caused the pain to decrease significally. The price scares me, don't know if I can continue to purchase Lyrica. The side effects I have, swelling on arms and legs, (espically arms) red color on both arms. Skin is warm to touch, and feels warms too on both lower arms, from elbow to wrists, and because of this can't wear my watch now. Still trying to figure if I can tolerate the swelling and redness, but I'll try.

I've been taking Lyrica for a couple of months. It works great but I have gained a lot of weight and my hands and feet swell. I am now tapering off the Lyrica. It's to bad about the side effects because it did work for my pain issues.
