REPORT

Just found this site. I also take Fluoxetine 20mg.and Lyrica 25mg. three times a day. When I first started the Lyrica I was very
disoriented, so much
so I was afraid to drive.
However as time has
gone on that has
disappeared. I have
gained weight and
have pretty bad dry
mouth but the pain
has decreased unbelievably. I just
stood and danced for 2 1/2 hours at a Paul McCartney concert and did not suffer at all. The next day was another story but still manageable.

Hi Diane,

The side effects you've been experiencing are common on these medications, so you're definitely not alone.

In the link below you can see a list of side effects associated with Lyrica (Pregabalin):
http:/­/­www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/­pubmedhealth/­PMH0000327/­#a605045-sideEffects

Among those effects listed in the link above that you mentioned are:
speech problems
difficulty concentrating or paying attention
confusion
difficulty remembering or forgetfulness
anxiety
lack of coordination
loss of balance or unsteadiness
uncontrollable shaking or jerking of a part of the body
muscle twitching

That said, it seems like the majority of your side effects are associated with Lyrica and not Fluoxetine.

You can however view side effects of Fluoxetine in the link below:

I hope this helps!

I've been on Prozac 60mg 1x a day for depression for about 2 yrs. and started with neurotin 100mg increasing to 600mg 3x a day for a yr.
And Percocet 10/325mg 4x a day and Xanax 2mg 3x a day.
My chronic pain of many issues became worse.
My doctor has replaced the neurotin with Lyrica 150mg 2x a day.

I took the lyrica the first time last night.
My Prozac I take around 6am with Percocet.
How long do I wait to take the lyrica?
Will these combination of medications kill me? I don't take them all at the same time.
I have fibromyalgia , bi-lateral carpal tunnel , disc deterioration in back and neck , continuous muscles spasms in my neck and rt shoulder depression , arthritis and depression/anxiety.
I'm panicing now thinking how the lyrica is going to effect me.
When I took it last night the effects were similar to when I first took neurotin but a lot more dizziness and unsteady motor skills.
Any advice on how to add lyrica into my med schedule?????

Hi Nancy, Just wondering how the combination of prozac and lyrica is going for you. I am just starting the lyrica to deal with fibro pain but just concerned about the side effects and if it is worth the long term improvements. I am taking about the same amount of both and just wondered if it was still working well.
