I've had sum very TERRIBLE effects from this pill from hell...theres several that are very alarming and ive read just a couple people on here mention it. but its concerning the brain/head/eyes. When i move my eyes, there's a sound that like a bionic sound that goes anytime i move my head (if there open, i closed my eyes to see if it did it when my eyes closed). Also, this med has caused sum severe joint pain that I NEVER HAD BFORE! My dr also says that the highest dosage any person should be on regardless is 450mg, no more, well ive been on this med on/off for ten yrs. never have i been on this amount of mg. but i trusted my new dr which is a group of anesthesiologist, which is a dr that knows everything about meds, what meds go & dont go with what meds, which meds will help other meds work better & which ones will counteract other meds.
I'm wanting to know AN UPDATE ON SYMPTOMS THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING IN THE PAST YEAR. PLEASE. Also just to mention among my many side effects & yes, im still on it, going to the dr today to let him no I WANT OFF, and ill not go back on after being off, bc all 3 different times ive been on this has happened with the bionic sound with my eyes, but the 2 times before (oh, it would always happen when i woke up but would go away the past 2 times as soon as i was awake enough, but this time, on this high dosage, its been happening this time going into the 2nd week, nonstop.
But one of the many effects is smoking. Ive never smoked more than a half pack of cigs a day, ultra lites no matter, well im up to 2pks a day, and ive always despised cigs, but couldnt throw them away. Oh we wont go into the weight gain & constant feeling that i cant ever get enough air. Sometimes feels as if im suffocating. I apologize for going on & on, just wanted to get sum up to date. 5/15 side effect & effects of those that have come off and came on here to vent of the HELL THEIR STILL GOIN THRU, NO DOUBT. MY PRAYER IS THAT EVERYONE THAT TRUELY SEEKS PEACE & COMFORT, WILL SEEK GOD 1ST THEN THE HELP OF OTHERS, BC NOTHING GOOD WIL EVER COME OUTA ANY OF THIS UNLESS WE SEEK GODS GUIDANCE & STRENGTH. Thanks for reading. GOD BLESS!!! ANITA FROM GA.

On top of the massive weight gain and not being able to loss it I ask my Dr to take me off it and she up the dose and I almost lost my eye sight with only taken 2 doses so I let her know right away so I was placed back on the old dose but I haven't taken it for now for awhile and I have noticed that the pain in my teeth have has been getting worse and my fills have fell out over a year ago and my teeth just break off for no known reason and the one's that I do have are just rotting out.
Verwon,yes i hav tried neuroniton,and as much pain&distress that i have lived for 18yrs is nothing compared to what iv went thru since the 4th of may,Pure pain from hell is all this chemically made up pill that kills the cells in your brain never to grow back causing early dementia &more damage to come. The damage iv occured frm this med i found out wed that it MAY NOT BE IRREVERSABLE....SO please dnt tell me that i havnt suffered whatever....just as u say every person is different,every persons toerance is different!!
LYRICA may be somebodys LIFE SAVER when the first get on it,but i cn almost guarantee tht sum pple wil hav damage in a mnths tome,sum wnt hav it til 6mnths then sum 12 mnth,but every single person tht takes this pill wil hav damage of sum severity. Thank you&GODBLESS!!
I'm very sorry that you're so miserable.
Even though you didn't have such severe problems with it, before, our bodies do change with time, so it just might not be the best medication choice for you, now.
Have you ever tried Neurontin? The FDA also classifies it as an anticonvulsant that can treat the same conditions as Lyrica, but some people have better luck with it. The typical side effects listed as very similar and may include dry mouth, nausea, dizziness and mood swings.
