I have not tried this BUT PLEASE report these side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. Unless you do this nothing will be done with this drug, nothing will get done just by posting on here but helping others, you want it off the market, tell the FDA!!!!!!

I've been on Prialt for about 4 years. I too heard music-really twangy country at first. It's almost gone now and sometimes I miss it. Drove me nuts at first. I talk faster than I use to, but my memory is getting better. I don't know if others do this, but I've noticed I talk to myself a lot and I constantly am singing to myself as well.

First off... if I didn't find these reviews I'd probably be institutionalized right now. This medicine did help my nerve pain (moderately) but the memory loss is horrible, I lost 50lbs in 6 months, I can't concentrate well, agitated, no motivation, have extreme anxiety and have a very very hard time being able to remember words or finish my sentences.

First off... if I didn't find these reviews I'd probably be institutionalized right now. This medicine did help my nerve pain (moderately) but the memory loss is horrible, I lost 50lbs in 6 months, I can't concentrate well, agitated, no motivation, have extreme anxiety and have a very very hard time being able to remember words or finish my sentences. Then... I started having a pungent perfumey like smell constantly, which started to become an obsession because no one else could smell it on me and it is so strong and disgusting. This slowly led up to a full blown manic episode lasting 5 to 7 days with no sleep (can't remember now), thoughts of not wanting to live anymore and perhaps boarder-line psychosis. I've been off this medication for over 2 weeks now but still suffer from some of these side effects, but they're slowly going away (THANK YOU GOD!). Again, I can't stress enough how these reviews helped me because my doctor never mentioned these side effects and definitely should have but took me off of it right away. I'm glad this medication has helped many people, but be careful if considering taking this medication and READ ABOUT THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS FIRST!

My husband was put on Prialt after 6 yrs.of chronic pain due to surgical procedure to remove part of a lung. Nerve damage. This is a drug from HELL. Hears music,complete personality change. Jekll and Hyde. Nause vomiting no appetite. He now weighs 128 lbs. Says he just wants to die as he cannot go on this way. Sleeps when he can or lays in bed. Told Drs. This and only give more pills. Depression and anxiety. How can you not feel these things. Has effected our whole family and grandkids. Gets aggressive and I want to leave, sad thing is after he acts this way he feels bad as if he has no control. He feels sick all the time and hardly goes anywhere. I could go on and on. Pain is worse now than ever. I am glad it has helped other people but the Naha seem more than the yeahs. I just want my husband back.
