Lyrica Side Affects - Law Suit
UpdatedI was given this medicine for pain. In 1 year this drug ruin my life. I still have a difficult time leaving my house. I feel lost and don't know the way back. It made me susicidal, angry beyond control, lack of worth, no phone communication except my mother, weight gain, panic, memory loss........THIS DRUG NEEDS TO BE PULLED FROM SHELF.....I cry now because I can't explain to people how it's taken my life away. I'm terrified of pharmasudicals. If anyone places a class action suit, please contact me. This drug is the drug from hell.

I have been taking Lyrica for 5+ years now. I'm now on 600 mgs a day. I was originally given this medication for ocipital neuralgia (extreme pain & electrical jolts up the back right side of my head). I started having extreme fatigue & muscle & joint pain & was diagnosed with fibromyalgia so throughout the past 5 years my dosage was increased. I now want to get off this medication because I no longer have a life. I'm depressed & tired all the time & I no longer have any motivation to do anything. Everything seems so overwhelming & difficult. I went from being an average person with a job. I exercised regularly & was a hard worker. Now I'm on Social Security Disability & I'm seeing a psychiatrist for the depression & anxiety. Now I'm taking anti-depressants as well as medication for my anxiety. I was also on Oxycodone for pain but after taking it for 4 years I weined myself off of it thinking things would get better but it hasn't. I rarely leave my house unless I have a doctor appointment or to go grab some food. I'm pretty much a recluse. I don't even go to my mom's house anymore & she only lives around the block. My vision is really bad now & I've gained 90 pounds over the past 5 years which adds to my depression & anxiety. I am no longer the confident woman I once was. My life pretty well sucks & even my personal hygiene has become more lax, skipping showers for days & staying in my pajamas a lot of the time.
I have finally decided the Lyrica has to be at the root of a lot of my issues. My hairbrush is full of hair every day that is falling out. I figure I owe it to myself to find out if I get myself off the Lyrica if I will see an improvement in my life. I TOO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY CLASS ACTION SUITS AGAINST PHIZER, THE
MANUFACTURER OF LYRICA. I honestly think this medication has & continues to be at the root of the drastic change in my lifestyle. I'm currently applying for a medical marijuana card. I would much rather ingest medical marijuana than Lyrica. Let me know if you hear anything about a class action suit for this medication. Thank you.
