Lyrica And Memory Issues

Updated

I have been taking Lyrica about six months. I have been taking other meds for pain. I have stopped taking the pain RX Tramadol. I still have memory problems, but I started this week taking just one Lyrica ( I was taking two a day 75 mg).

THE FDA WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT THE BAD EXPERIENCES WITH LYRICA.

Lyrica contains the active ingredient Pregabalin, which is an anticonvulsant and the FDA does warn that some medications in this class are well known to cause memory issues. Other side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, mood swings, and weight changes.

As to the comment about the FDA, they want to hear about bad experiences with all medications, not just this one, so please don't be afraid to submit reports.

Is there anything else I can help with?
