Lyrica Is Dangerous / Class Action Suit Anyone? (Page 8)

Updated

I have crps in both hands from carpal tunnel release...after several months, I was worse, not better. My workmens comp dr. said " You will have chronic pain the rest of your life and you will just have to learn to live with it"...oh thanks doc for screwing my hands up, not to mention how it has drastically has changed my life and limitations. I have been seeing a pain specialist ever since and that was back in 2001 when I had the release. I was on lyrica for the last 6 years, I have been off of it for three months. Now that I think back to when my severe depression started was not long since I started taking it. I don't know how many times I said I hate my life and I wish I was dead, I had thoughts of taking all my prescriptions and going to sleep for good! By the grace of god, I had my four nephews to take care of and I truly believe they saved my life! My pain management N.P wanted to keep a close eye on me when I started taking it, so I went from going every six months to every three months and when my depression got worse every two months...nothing was done, I was on 600 mg. a day, why didn't she try to lower my dose? I complained about the swelling and she said she didn't have any other patients complain, I was taking lyrica for the pain in my hands and the whole time it was making them worse! There were many time I would be driving and make a turn and not know where I was...one day I couldn't remember my address, I couldn't remember conversations I had with my boys, I had no brain! When I came off lyrica and I did it slowly...it was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Hot, cold, night sweats, nauseous...I was at the grocery store and literally felt like a monster coming out of me, thank god I am off lyrica! My lawyer is checking on a class action lawsuit, all of us that has had a horrible experience with lyrica, we all need to come together and they need to pay for putting this horrible drug on the market!

Has anybody googled Lyrica side effects lawsuits - Parker Waichman LLP?? I see them online but don't trust some of these law firms. Wondering if anyone has had any contact with them.

Tisha - sorry that you too have suffered the affects of this drug. I had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands, arthritis, tennis elbow, golfers elbow, was scoped both was to determine why I felt nauseous all the time, couldn't swallow food without choking, no appetite but continued to gain weight, major depression disorder, suicidal ideation, etc. I can name something from my scalp to the tips of my toes that was wrong. The doctors don't listen or take you seriously. They just think you are depressed and laying around on the couch all day eating so they increase your meds. Really upset me when I read obese in my record. I kept telling the doctors that this is not fat. My stomach is hard like being pregnant. I went off Lyrica, my own choice, in February and everything went away, even the 45 plus pounds I gained without even trying. The only thing I which didn't go away is the fact that all my life I have been a b-c cup bra. At age 49 I jumped and quickly to a double d and starting to bust (no pun intended) out of that size. Didn't even get to enjoy them as my stomach was sticking out. They went away too. I think all of us are depressed in one way or another. We have lost so much of our lives. Just the fact I got rid of all my clothes when I started gaining weight years ago, bought stuff to fit, and now walking out of my pants is enough to make me so depressed and angry at the same time. I don't know if the depression with ever completely go away, especially for those who have permanent side effects. In time as all the other symptoms go away so does some of the depression. I found a good councilor after trying several different ones and talking about it does help a little. Finding the right doctor that helps with your problems also helps a little, some anti-depression meds help a little too. With all these things that help a little it does make a difference. The biggest thing that would help us all is a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT!!! Now if we could only find a lawyer to take this on.

I contacted them and was told they couldn't help me because I live in Kentucky and in KY there is a statute of limitations of 2 years on drug injuries. I was on it 3 years ago so they say I don't qualify.

Lyrica induced depression or lyrica induces Anxiety is very treatment resistant as it is not naturally organic in its nature but caused by drug damage , my son still suffers from Anxiety that he never had before taking Lyrica more than 5 years after his last dose , the Anxiety is far worse than the original problem ......

My daughter was on Lyrica for body pain. She attempted suicide in February, 2015. Did not succeed at it. Bought a gun in March 2015. Made out a 3 page will on November, 2015. Added to it on December 13, 2015. On December 22, 2015 she adjusted all her financial accounts and beneficiaries. On December 24, 2015 she committed suicide. She was secretive about all this until after her death when we found out what she was doing. Looking for a lawyer to sue those responsible for this drug.

The problem that we can't get the number, name, or email is because the site monitor will not post them to deal with Lyrica. Also they will not post our address for security reasons.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My husband did the same thing. I found videos from him indicating he had planned his death for over a year. I lost him 12/29/14. I would love to find someone to take our case but no one will. Can't someone just put the name of the atty up so we can at least Google him/her?

Parker Waichman said they are not taking on lyrica cases - it does on their website but I just got off the phone with them and they said they will not handle lyrica claims any longer. Anyone have other law firms?

I am so sorry for your loss! I know all to well how it feels to loose a child. The holidays will never ever be the same. I lost my 19 yr. Old son on New Year's Day in 2010. It will never be a new year ever again just another year gone by. It is still very raw to you but even after these years have gone by for me it still seems like it just happened. People say to me it will get better in time but until they have gone through, praying that nobody has to, it really doesn't get better. It is very hard for me to remember the good times to out way the bad. He became sick at such an early age and suffered with his health for 3 years never actually being able to enjoy all the things a teenager should or have a full enjoyable life. Although he was suffering and the out come put an end to it a mother never sees it that way. I never thought that he would not heal or get better. It helps much more to be able to talk with others who have lost a child and can relate to the same feelings. You realize that you are not alone. If you can remember the good and not the bad, hopefully it will releave your pain and you can smile again.

Yes, do it even if some of us are past the time limit for filing a class action. Call the law firm up. There are at least 3 blogs running that I know of concerning Lyrica and I don't know how many are on social media sites.
