Lyrica Lawsuit (Page 25) (Top voted first)
UpdatedDoes anyone know if there is an ongoing lawsuit against the company who puts out Lyrica? I am a mess from it. Do we have a leg to stand on when it comes to the side effects they found out from people like us? I am a long termer. I have been taking 900 mg since 2005. Is there anyone representing us? Thank you
I have left a couple of past posts. But, I too ended up in a psychiatrist office thinking I was loosing my mind not realizing it was the Lyrica. I describe it as not seeing the forest for the trees effect. She advised me to see my doctor about quitting it immediately. When I did, my doctor said, stop immediately, there will be no side effects. 2 years later - just had glasses as my vision went bad, my memory will never be the same, I still have twitches and had $3,000 done in dental work. I get on this site every other day or so just to see what people are still staying years later about the effects of this job. I lost a $100k job due to this drug and the effects it had on me. 50 years old and never been fired in my entire life.....damages - yes, but NO ONE will listen.
Sherree, I'm glad you posted. I feel like we are really gaining momentum & will in time expose this drug/company!!
Reagarding a more interactive group, I had suggested Facebook or Skype a few posts ago. Facebook has an easy IM feature, no downloads or anything to start. I personally find FB easier to navigate than the Yahoo groups, but either would be great. Or maybe we should have a couple so more people can find us. It might be a good idea to have co-sponsors set something up, just because we all have good days & bad days. I admit that I can't be relied on to post every day. A good name for the group would be Lyrica Survivors - I think Miranda came up with the perfect name, if she doesn't mind if its used!
Feel free to disagree with any of my ideas! I was just brainstorming.
Happy Tuesday Goddesses (& Jude)!
Let me know where the group is setting up sites, I have been trying to figure out since I stopped this drug just how my eyesight has changed - I've lost another yr getting off the drug and recovering from the side effects- with no end in sight. I felt attorneys are looking for a clear cut case- perhaps one could comment for us- Mine is not as I have problems before , but none as severe as this one. My Dr recently retired and I'm trying to get my records. Remember all this is not listed under a warning. And I based some of my decision to try this drug on so many of the studies
Which were fraud.
I am lokking for the same help. My new neurologist took me off the drug...slowly! I totally understand how those withdrawing from addiction understand. PCP and neuro say it is an awful drug...especially for women! I am very, very grateful to see I'm not alone!! Thank you so much for saying what I'm feeling, too.
Anyone that starts a Lyrica Survivors Facebook page - I WILL definitely join. This is not the only discussion link as there are others and maybe that will bring everyone together on one group!
If folks think a Facebook page is a good idea, I'd be willing to rejoin. I quit over questions about Facebook's security, and when I used it before, I got tired of getting messages from everybody I knew about a million things I wasn't interested in. Maybe the reality is that Facebook would provide the most visibility for our group, and we want to be seen, right?
I just contacted Crumley Roberts law firm about this. I gave them a link to this discussion. Maybe if several others contact them now they will actually do something. Here is the link if you want to join me in asking them to represent us. http://www.crumleyroberts.com/north-carolina-drug-injury-lawyer.php

Friends-
I took Lyrica for TWO DAYS- 75 mg/BID
My husband had to stay home and babysit me- had hallucinations; tried to take a knife to him and to myself. Took high-dose Valium to stop the reaction. Never have been the same- in 2 years- God help us all- esp. all of you who have taken it longer than I have done. I will work with you ALL to get attention paid to this. What can I do?????
BTW:
Am former biochemist, then 6 years in executive sales- I can write letters; contact attorneys- anything- PLEASE- email me- let's do something and not be victims (more than f-ing Pfizer has made us). I have about 15 minutes at a time to type- I can do a lot before going numb. Miranda, Vicky, all-----contact me. With love and empathy - btw- I take opiates with an easier time than this garbage- there MUST be a better way for us all. White light to all and my prayers.
btw or anyonethat can help would be a blessing. I am going to try the facebook today I am now down from 900 mg to 200 mg. Cofusion and inabilty to write or speak no beter, blurred visioon stil there, I lst 10 pd,wow 90 to go,all in my mid section. I am on high oiates s well so I dont eat a lot but for some reason(lyrica) i can not lose yhe weight, Anyone heard from tat Lawyr yet? Prayers to all! vicky
Nicole,
I'm taking my last dose of hydrocodone this morning, and can't get it refilled for 10 days. It's terrifying how quickly my tolerance has gone up. I won't resort to buying it on the street, and wouldn't know where to find it anyway! LOL!
I am trying an herb called corydalis, which was recommended by Vanessa, who used it to almost totally quit pain meds in a week. Wish me luck. It's so frightening and humiliating to feel like an addict when, all of my life, I've been against drug abuse.
Your story is horrifying, but I think you have a lot of spirit and determination, which we'll all need a huge supply of to get through this.
By all means join the Lyrica Survivors on Facebook and if any of you ever want to talk, let me know there, and we can IM.
Best to all,
Miranda/Vicki
Miranda: I wish you the best. The key for me was keeping the corydalis in my system and not letting the pain get out of control. I still hurt, but nothing like i did before.
Please keep me updated.
