Lyrica Lawsuit (Page 27) (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

talked to the crawley law firm today, they tried to call me for over a week several times, I finally taled to them and they asked a lot of questions, we spoke for about 30 min. he said that someone would be back in touch with me concerning this matter, within 10 days! Has anyone eles spoken with that law firm? I already know the answer, we cant help you! I just fill it. I am now down to 150 mg a day and have not gotten to feel back to normal at all. I would have thought comming down from 900mg a day I would have a least not been so confused in a fog. But things are the same. I think reality is that we are not going to recover from the side affects of Lyrica. i hate to think that way but I am. I stood in line at the post office today, to mail a letter sent and have the receiver sign for it. I had everything I wanted to say in my mind and had myself so worked up by the time it was my turn. Needless to say, i panicked and nothing came out right, I felt like a fool. Its so damn fustrating. anyway i guess we will see what this firm has to say/ hope everyone eles might be feeling a bit better vicky

Just got a letter from Crumley Roberts. Based on what I provided, they are not able to help me at this time. My problems with Lyrica are pretty mild compared to some of you. It's possible that as they look at the cases of some of you who have contacted them and see how many people are having problems, they will do something. I'm not holding my breath though.

I just don't understand why no attorneys seem to be interested in cases where people are suffering from the lasting side effects of a drug that has not been properly tested and Pfizer has been cited for not reporting the unexpected severe side effects. The FDA knows Pfizer is not looking into us reporting the side effects in the required time allotted. And to top it all off Pfizer said the delay is due to a new computer system and untrained employees. COME on. Pfizer is a drug GIANT and if find it hard to believe they don't have the most up to the date computers and software! UGH!!! Just so frustrating.

Please see the below link to the FDA website. This is not the same form we have posted in the past. this is for safety information and adverse event reporting. you can fill the form out on-line, call it in, mail it, or fax the completed form. PLEASE everyone fill it out and send it in.

I know of one attorney, he is in Wyoming, James Fitzgerald, who won a big lawsuit against the manufacturers of Paxil. I think his phone number is 307-742-4000. If that's wrong, you can look him up on wyomingbar.org

Perhaps he could do a class action lawsuit and represent all of those that have been injured by this drug.

Good luck to all!

Regarding the last two posts, I did, early on, send a link to this page to the host of a radio show I listen to daily. The show is called The Power Hour (not to be confused with The Hour of Power which is the religious show) hosted by Joyce Riley on the Genesis Communications Network. The show concerns itself largely with political issues, but also addresses health issues and how they can be dealt with naturally, with alternatives to pHARMaceutical poisons. I was disappointed to have not heard back from Ms. Riley, as this show appears to be very oriented towards tackling the problems of the powerless individuals, such as ourselves. I would have thought that, with her multitude of connections and vehement opposition to the damage that is done to Americans by the pHARMa criminals, Ms. Riley would be able to connect us to an attorney with the courage to take on the evil corporation and individuals that have done us such harm. Perhaps if she started getting emails from more of us, it might become more of a priority. I honestly thought she'd have been more interested.

Maybe some of us could listen to the program and come up with some input about whether they agree that Ms. Riley might be able to hook us up with someone who can help. The program airs Monday through Friday for three hours, beginning at, I believe, 7:00 AM CST, but the network home page has access to archives of all the programs, so one wouldn't have to be up to listen to the program live. I personally am not enough of a morning person to be up at 5:00 in the morning, my time zone, to listen to the live broadcast, which also includes calls from listeners.

Oops! Forgot to mention, I listen to the streaming version of the program on my computer, and so I have no idea what radio stations carry it. Sorry.

Hello,
I am 28 years old and suffered a nerve injury after being strangled by a patient almost three years ago. I was on Lyrica for about a year and was noticing some side effects. I was on so much other mediation though that I was not sure which medication was causing the side effects. I started developing stains (decay) at my gum line and it increased from one tooth to about fourteen in less than a year. I talked to my doctor about this and he said that he had never heard of anything like that. I then talked to my grandfather, who is a dentist, and told him that I was on Lyrica which can also be used to treat seizures. He said that any drug associated with seizures has the potential to cause tooth problems. I went off the drug and within a month my stains stopped spreading. I am probably going to have to have about 5 teeth worked on now (I have several tiny holes) and am disgusted by this. I saw that a few other people had mentioned teeth problems and I would really like to know if any one else has had these problems. Please let me know if you do!!! I would really like to be able to tell my doctor that I am not crazy!!

Rachel- You are definitely NOT crazy! Read the back posts, that's how I found out my tooth problems stemmed from Lyrica. I have completely lost 2 teeth & have had about 40 little cavities in the last 3 years. Not to mention all this exacerbated my TMJ. I'm well over $5,000 in mouth problems quoyert 11,from this sick drug.

Rachel - same thing happened to me. I went to the dentist and they thought that the decay was from Acid Reflux because after being off of Lyrica for 6 months the dentist nor myself never thought of it being Lyrica that destroyed all of my bottom teeth. Now I have my bottom teeth capped....

Rachel, I lost almost all my teeth, I had 10,000 work done which I still owe my dentist. My injury wa a workmans comp cseand I had my doctor as well as my dentit write letters about a condition called Xterioior, the spelling is not right, but it is condition frommes that cause lack of saliva. I thought that with these kind of ltters from professionals that OWCP would have covered it. As of now they still are denying it. Lyrica and the otherrugsdefintley contributed to my dntal problems. So you are right. I ahve but given up callingthese lawyers, noone wants to get involved. I guess maybe one of thse days someone will take a closer look at a serious stuation wit this drug alled LYRICA

Rae, It is very sad that someone your age has to go through this alond with everything else you have gone through. Fibro is hard enough on an older person, I can't imagine having to deal with it as a child. My best friends daughter had it as a child also. These idiot lawyers don't know a good thing when they have it. I have gone through exactly the same things you have gone through. Except I seriously tried to end my life. Thank God he had other plans for me, so I am still here. I just got another rejection phone call and letter from Crumbly/Roberts law firm. I think this is like the 5th one. I see all these adds for lawyers who take on drug companies so I don't understand what it is about this drug company that lawyers don't want to go up against them. But we have to keep trying. It isn't fair that they can get away with this. Best of luck to you and Thank God for your fiancee..
