Does Lyrica Mess Up Your Liver? (Page 5)

I started taking Lyrica for 3 weeks now for my Chronic Facial Pain. I had taken all the chronic pain meds and nothing work. I was diagnos with this illness since I had a root canal done, I even got 2 teeth extracted though the pain would go away. Anyway, I am now having some reaction, my feet and legs feels fat. However, my pain is about 4 in a scale of 10 being very painful. I take Lyrica 3x a day with 50 mg each along with oxycodon (if pain does not go away) and motrin 800 mg for head aches. I been on norcotic medicines for 2 years and now with Lyrica and etc. I am just wondering if the chronic pain actually go away? I am tired of taking all these medicine and scared that I will not have a liver left..............

I have been taking a lot more Lyrica than you have for about 9 months (my dosage is 3 Times a day and 150 mg each time). I am no specialist but I think the dosage is in proportion to weight). The doctor who prescribed started at 10 MG in my case and it didn't even touch the issue. He gradually increased it but was way to careful. My doctor got involved as I was not getting any relief and jumped the dosage as he knows I need a lot to get my system kick started. Only after I was getting a higher dosage did it finally show that it was getting my bodies attention did it finally kick in. As far as liver, I have had no issues (knock on wood) .

Actually, lyrica is metabolized Through your kidneys, not your liver.
