Lyrica Class Action Lawsuit (Page 3)

Updated

If you have had an adverse reaction to Lyrica, please contact a law firm. I just called mine and gave them my basic information, and they will be having a lawyer contact us. This drug is dangerous, deadly, and should be pulled from the market. Amomg all the usual issues, today i noticed a new one had been added. For males, sperm motility can be affected and children created by parents using Lyrica, there is the possibility of birth defects. Please call and at least get on record with this firm. The more of us who call and tell our stories, the more likely it is that the drug company is going to have to cover our medical expenses, pain and suffering, etc.

That's exactly how I felt!! Is your stomach more like you are 9 months pregnant with your diaphragm pushing up? Watch out it may not be fat, mine was fluid although the doctors wouldn't listen, the fluid started leaking around my heart and right lung. Thank God I choose to go off my own just in time.

Heather, I was put on Lyrica over six years ago and at that time they were not stating any of this as side affects. My doctor didn't know any of these side affects until beginning of 2015 when they actually added all those side affects to cover their ass because they were suid in 2013 for advertising it as a drug for neuropothy without any drug trials to back it up and they lost. I lost six years of my life and there are to many that have worst conditions then I did. I'm sure they didn't advertise that it would put you in a wheelchair.

Laura, I had to roll out of bed, couldn't see my feet to put shoes on, couldn't eat either or the pain got worse. You don't gain massive weight without a reason. And notice that it is said weight gain but not what kind, fat or fluid, or both to cover their ass. I also had difficulty breathing and was put on inhalers of which I don't need now. Feb is right around the corner, hang in there!! You didn't say what med your doctor changed you to. Best wishes

Brett,

Kez who has been apart of this thread had found one in AUSTRALIA. Email: [email protected]

Not sure how Kez has been making out as he was very sick. If you do get in contact with this lawyer, see if they know anyone in the United States.

So the other day I am at the eye doctors (believe it or not but my eyes reverted for the better after getting off Lyrica, its a slow change) I pick up this magazine and there's this whole two page ad on Lyrica. Front page all about how it is believed to calm nerve pain from Fibromyalgia. Doesn't mention anything about neuropathy as it was originally prescribed for. I imagine because they lost the lawsuit on that one. The back page listed all the side effects we have been talking about, but some are vague like weight gain but not what kind. Fat or fluid. Suicidal thoughts and actions, itchiness, swelling of hands, legs, and feet, difficulty swallowing. And the list goes on. There's at least 20 different ones. But many of us have had side effects that are not listed. HOWEVER, at the end of everything it says IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE RARE SIDE EFFECTS CONTACT THE FDA. Maybe that's what we should all be doing. The FDA is who filled a lawsuit in 2013 for not doing drug trials before selling it as medication for neuropathy. The FDA will get this off the market if there is enough complaints.

We are a looking for one. Look down a couple of comments and one was suggested as a possibility in Australia. Nobody seems to know of one in the US. I think everyone should just start calling lawyers in their area to see. First consultations are always free!

I've taken myself off all pharmecueticles. I'm lucky enough that I can cause I believe Lyrica took my legs too! I will say this, life is slower, a bit hectic at times. Lost my wife too. I still have a great son a grandaughter with some awesome friends! Grab unto that if you can? I'm having major dental work completed and my teeth were always perfect. It's sad to see how money rules some people's souls.

It's not about the money for many of us, it's about preventing these things from happening to others and getting Lyrica off the market or at least more research needs to be done on the side effects of permanent damage to people's physical and mental health. It is the drug that has ruined our souls not being money hungry. Some people do not have the money to have the proper care needed or specialist doctors to go to to be able to regain their health. We are all supporting eachother just with being able to discuss our issues and realizing that others are out there that have the same medical problems with our health. We are not alone. Please continue to look at the bright side of your life and not what has been lost. The past is not going to change, it is gone. It's the present and future of our lives and others that we need to concentrate on.

Those of us have not been able to find a lawyer although I'm not sure how many people are actually trying. I tried to email the one in Australia but was unable to from this end. Seems like most want to jump into a lawsuit and not actually try to start one. The biggest problem with lawyers is that they are fighting Pfizer, the biggest pharmaceutical company in the word and I think they believe that it is a hopeless cause fighting them. I am curious, how many people are from Australia on this thread?

Hey everybody I found something. Check this website out. It's about the lawsuit on Lyrica from 2012. consumerist.com/2012/12/12/pfizer-hit-with-43-million-settlement-for-misleading-marketing-of-drugs. Not sure what we should do next. Any ideas? Maybe call FDA or District Attorney's. I also posted this on one of the other Lyrica threads here as there are several going at the same time.
