Lyrica And Body Stiffness (Top voted first)

Updated

I've been on lyrica for about 4 months and feel like I'm 100 years old. After sitting for only a few minutes and getting up my body is so stiff! When I awaken in the morning my hands are so stiff I can't close them and I can barely walk I'm so stiff. I've also been having urinary incontinence. Has anyone else experienced these side effects?

These are listed as being very rare possibly side effects of it, known to happen in very few people that take it.

Have you contacted your doctor? I'd advise you to do so, as soon as possible, because you should probably be switched to a different medication.

I have experienced the exact same symptom plus many more. I have been diagnosed with CPS and have done the rounds with specialists and the drugs they prescribe. I have been on Lyrica for over 12 months and now taking myself off it. Breathing is laboured, wheezing, blisters and itching on my back, and swelling feet. Thoughts of self harm are ever present.
