Comment:
The pain from my peripheral neuropathy was so great, even though I was taking Neurontin. When I switched to Lyrica, I experienced great relief after only a week! I consider it a miracle drug. It cut my pain in half, make life bearable again. My only criticism is that if I forget to take a dose, I get "withdrawal symptoms." Diarrhea, headache, ache all over, some nausea.

The Lyrica has opened up my fuzzy brain. It's like I've been missing my life with all the fuzziness. It has awakened me so much that I see a clearer view of life and no more tired/sleepiness and no more naps 2-3 X's a day.

I started taking Lyrica for nerve pain. I had severe scoliosis with peripheral neuropathy (legs, feet, arms and hands). I currently take 75 mg 2x a day along with 200 mg of Celebrex for continued back and arthritic pain. I started with 50 mg of Lyrica years ago that really helped my leg/foot pain.

About a year ago I was experiencing so much more pain my doc upped me to the 75mg 2x a day. I have been very happy with the pain relief. However, I am very concerned about weight gain and severe and continuing decline in my memory. I am hoping that I can ease off of it. Fingers crossed.

This medication had extreme side effects so severe I stopped taking after a week. I was unable to read a book or focus - double vision and floating spots in my eyes. After stopping medication, vision problems went away after about two weeks. This is a very expensive medication that I cannot tolerate.

Resolved mystery pain in wrist after seeking alternative treatment with over a dozen doctors and physical/occupational therapists. My only reasons for discontinued use is price, difficulty losing weight, and desire to reseek alternative treatment for a long term solution other than that of an oral medication.
