Lyrica Lawsuit (Page 26) (Top voted first)

Does 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

REPORT

I talked to Fabiola at Crumley/Roberts this morning. She was very nice. She also asked me if they could pass my name and number on to other attorneys if they weren't able to help me. I said YES of course. She said they would contact me within 10 days.

I heard back from Crumley Roberts right after I put in my contact to them the other day. They told me also that it would probably take ten days to get back to me after the lawyers review my info.

Nicole:
I recently contacted Crumley Roberts Law Firm and thought that maybe if a lot of us contacted them at the same time they would do something. You can join us in contacting them at http:/­/­www.crumleyroberts.com/­north-carolina-drug-injury-lawyer.php

Vanessa,

Thanks so much for your support and guidance. I'm a little confused about the form and dose. The corydalis extract I have is a yellow powder which I had to put into capsules myself. The herbalist I spoke to on the phone suggested that I take 200 mg. I have a scale that will accurately measure mg. Does this sound right to you?

Miranda...So do you take this corydalis for the Fibro pain? If so is it expensive and yes I would like te web site to where you get the capusules. Also I know that some natural remedies also can have side effects. Have you had any at all from this/ Thanks

Vanessa,

Thanks. That pretty much confirms what the herbalist said, that 200 mg is a good starting point but she herself will take up to 600 mg at a time.

Connie,

I guess the idea for me is to control the pain so I can get off of the narcotics.

I got a 100 gram bottle of loose powder for $21 from Om Chi Herbs in Oregon. They have a website. It's kind of a pain to fill the capsules yourself.

The herbalist I talked to is Victoria at Radiance Herbs and Massage in Olympia WA. They have corydalis in both caps and tabs, I think, and I believe they ship. Anyway, they're very nice to deal with.

I can't tell you anything about my own experience because I haven't started taking it yet -- will start today. The research that I've done turned up no definitive information about side effects. One source said there's a risk of liver toxicity and another source disagreed. And besides, if there is that risk, I wonder how it compares to the known risk of toxicity to the liver and other organs from the NSAIDs in the hydrocodone I've been taking for several months. I also found no real evidence of a risk of addiction to corydalis, although I would not consider my research to be exhaustive. I figure, what the heck, I'm already addicted to this really bad drug (hydrocodone) anyway, what do I have to lose?

Hope this answers your questions.

Here is the company I order from Herbal Extracts.

Corydalis 10:1 - 60 Cap Bottle 1 $12.99

they are prefilled.

I take it for Fibro pain and headaches. Hope this is helpful.

Hi again,

I just got out my scale and weighed everything -- empty capsule and full capsule, factoring in a little empty space because it's very difficult to get my capsules full. I use a jeweler's gold scale and computer weight conversion calculator, and have come to the conclusion that my caps are just about 600 mg! Cool! I estimated that they were about 200 mg. Good thing I did the weighing and calculation!

It turns out that my capsules are cheaper, but it's SUCH a pain to fill them, so I'll be getting prefilled caps as soon as I run out of the bottle of powder I currently have. Definitely worth paying a little more to have very precise dosing and not have to go through the mess of hand-filling.

Thanks for sharing your resource Vanessa!

Connie- Fabriola asking to pass the info along is so exciting!!

I think I will also try the cordalis capsules. I get severely itchy from narcotics.

Thanks everyone for you helpful posts!!

I put up a way to get in touch with me if you can't find the Lyrica Survivors Facebook page. I guess I can't put an email address, so it didn't go through. Let's just say the email is the name of the page (small case no spaces) & the account is at yahoo, Hope that helps!

Well hey, y'all!

I've tried the corydalis. Took a cap about noon today and have thus far found no relief. It might be because I've got the tail end of a cold, or my body maybe just doesn't react to it the same as others might. It might be because one has to build up to a certain level. I'm hanging in and just dealing with pretty normal narcotic withdrawals. I'll survive and my dog definitely doesn't mind the extra cuddle-in-bed time! If status changes, you guys will be the first to know! LOL!

Have any of you tried a gluten-free, cassein-free (GFCF) diet to help with the fibro symptoms? I went on it basically because I wanted to see if it helped my kids with some of their issues. It is not an easy or cheap diet to follow but I have noticed that I don't have as much pain as I did before going on it. When I go off the diet for a few days and eat out, etc., I notice a lot more pain.

Listening to my favorite political talk radio host today, I heard something about the trial of Scott Reuben. Apparently, his defense is going to be that he had and undiagnosed mental disorder, and it was a bipolar episode that make him FABRICATE his study results. It it didn't hurt me so much to laugh, I'd be rolling on the floor right now.

I really wish I could find out where his trial is going to be, so we could all go sit in the courtroom with placards, listing the damage this greedy b*****d did to us. Let's, see, mine would read AGONIZING PHYSICAL PAIN, ADDICTION TO NARCOTIC PAIN MEDICATION, ATTEMPTED SUICIDE, LOSS OF APPROXIMATELY HALF OF MY PRODUCTIVE TIME BECAUSE I SLEPT 16 HOURS A DAY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, DAMAGE TO MY EYESIGHT, MANIFOLD INCREASE IN MY DEPRESSION, COMPLETE LOSS OF SEX LIFE and that's just for starters. I'll bet you all would need much bigger placards than I.

Can we find out where this loser is being tried and submit a link to this message board and to the Facebook page, plus any other boards we might find, to the prosecuting attorney in his case?

Whatever slap on the wrist he's going to get is going to be a joke and an insult. I think he should be forced to take Lyrica for at least a year and see for himself what his greed did to so many people and their loved ones.

If you are currently on Lyrica my suggestion, as a past taker of this medicine. TALK TO YOU DR. NOW (GET THE H__l OFF THIS MEDICINE) before it meakes you goofey. I got arrested from my job while taking this medicine. It made me very forgetfulto the point of forgetting a merchandise on my arm when I clocked out of work and getting arrested for theft. My daughter even thought I was getting Alzheimers. Need I say more?
