Has anyone taken Lyrica for GAD? I’ve just been prescribed 75mg x2 a day to begin with. I’m just wondering if anyone has had a positive/negative experience from it? I always get nervous when taking new meds so like to hear from people who have tried them.
I’ve read weight gain is a common side effect, did you gain a lot of weight?
I think it’s also called Lyrica? I’ve been prescribed it for chronic pain but haven’t started yet. Has anyone found it help with Restless Legs Syndrome or insomnia? What side effects should I be aware of, and are they bad? I’m getting pretty desperate but don’t want to start a new med that I have to get off of later due to bad side effects... #ChronicPain #RestlessLegsSyndrome #Insomnia #Pregabalin #Pain #ChronicFatigue
My pharmacy switched me to the generic version of Lyrica back at the end of January and a couple weeks later I started experiencing horrible pain from fallen arches. I was prescribed a long course of prednisone but after three weeks the pain and inflammation in my feet has improved, but my hip and back (which are awful areas for me) are really trying to flare up. I’m trying to go off the steroids but my psoas is raging, even two days out from physical therapy. It’s starting to get in the way of walking and swimming, and I coach and swim competitively. Has anyone experienced issues switching to the generic of Lyrica that has come out this year— Pregabalin— or should I just watch the steroids and not worry about the new medication? BTW, I had terrible depression almost immediately taking Gabapentin; I can’t touch the stuff. TIA.

any advice? should I stop? or should I follow up and demand to switch? cause Lyrica has been effective for me except on that part. :(
Went to my therapist yesterday and she changed my gabapentin to pregabalin (Lyrica). Woke up at 5 this morning and had no anxiety, which is unusual for me. I am trying to get off of Ativan. Hopefully this pregabalin will help me.

im really struggling at the moment with a bad fibromyalgia flare. also my arthritis pain is through the roof after being taken off naproxen in june this year. it gave me a stomach ulcer so i suppose its fair enough but since then my gps have refused to give me any replacement for it and im in agony daily😢 does anyone take pregabalin for fibro? if so any problems with it? or side effects? any info is appreciated as im going to see another gp soon to discuss me being put onto it. thanks x #Fibromyalgia #Arthritis #Pregabalin
I know this is the sorta thing I’ll be told to go see a professional about, but I’m just here for advice really.
I’ve been on so many medications I’ve lost count noW and after my recent visit to hospital I’m back on Pregabalin. I thought they were helping at first (despite causing side effects) but now they are making my mental health seriously bad.
As my dose had been increased, so has the “trippy” feeling and the scary thoughts in my head. I’m in a downward spiral at the moment and I don’t know whether it’s the tablets or it’s my current situation.... probably both!
Should I stop?
So, I have a sneaking suspicion that these two are totally unrelated, but I want to ask to remove another possibility. Today I have started to come off Pregabalin. A day I take 300mg split over 2 doses, and as agreed with my doctor I have dropped my morning dose totally. However, I am now experiencing severe tooth ache down one side of my face (right) in the top and bottom of my jaw. Is it possible for these to be connected some how? Or just a coincidence?
