Lyrica Lawsuit (Page 32) (Top voted first)

Updated

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

Thank you so much Roy. I had finally given up after 4 years of being on this website and trying to find soneone to help. What about the Statue of Limitations, is it too late for some of us to benefit from such a lawsuit? I am one that almost lost her life do do these pills and I still have a speech and twitching problem from them even after all this time. I hope you will be able to include me in this lawsuit. Just the satisfaction of seeing them go down would be wonderful...I wont have this email address anymore after next week so you can contact me at clszalay @ yahoo .com

Bad reaction to coming off lyrica after only 4 months. Had to be hospitalized for 4 days and it took a total of 8 weeks to recover to a somewhat normal life. I still have tremmors in my hand and extreme weekness in my knees. I have back probelms and was given a steroid injection 2-22-11 and felt so wound up, I didn't remeber to fill my lyrica prescription. So with the weekend coming up I wound up only taking one tablet a day instead of two. Within a few days, I began to lose control of ability to control my legs, arms, head, speech, etc. Horrible experience, damaged relationships, Deep depression and lots of pain. it has been just over 4 months and I still have some involuntary muscle movements and depression. I would love to see a class action suit filed.

roy! Our Hero! Thank you for at least understanding! I guess it would take someone who also had their life destroyed by Lyrica, I just know that regaurless of being off it entirely the side affects are going to remain. I am confused all the time and as i stated on lyrica survivors, it is so sad to have such bad memory loss. It actually took me over an hour to write this. God bless you for helping us and dontt forget me when you go after pfiser!

OMG I had a DR say I should get off the oxycotin and start to try lyrica. Went into detox got off oxys they tried me on lyrica I had verry bad reactions with in 2 days. sight, shakes, dizzy,all the things all of you are writting about. Its crazy I never had anything like that happen to me in all the years of taking the oxys. Its a darn shame. I never never abused my pain meds. What is wrong with these people. The oxys gave me my life back yet the whole world thinks if we take the op drugs we are drug addicts. Things need to change fofr the sake of us. The people who need but don't abuse these drugs.I am sick and tired of trying to get help with out Drs thinking I want to get high. The only people the Dr don't question happens to be the druggies. I know for a fact a lot of people who have had a leg taken off don't have any pain. But because the books say they do they get all the meds they want no question asked and then they turn around and sell the drugs for big bucks!!!! Like the rest of you I'm in a state and don't know where to turn. One thing for sure I won't be turning to lyrica or any of those types of drugs any time soon. I hope you all file suit on those SOB's and get what is coming to you. My heart goes out to all of you.

I am so sorry your husband took his life. how long was he on lyrica and what was he taking it for if you dont mind me asking. This medication really helped my nerve pain, but i felt so loopy i couldnt drive. when i got off it i had serious problems and ended up in a psych ward for 3 days mind you i have never had to stay in a psych hospital before. It took me about 2 months to feel right after being on lyrica. Lyrica changed the way i thought etc.... especially if i had a glass of wine with it. please let me know if you find a lawyer as there will probably be a class action lawsuit prretty soon thank you

neurologist. I have been to numerous Dr.s and opthamogists, hospital emergency rooms had all kinds of tests done to see what was causing this problem,, and everything came back negative. I stopped my own taking of Lyrica a couple of weeks ago because I didn't want to take it any longer. It was originally prescribed to me because of unknown pain throughout my body, again, no diagnosis of what that pain was caused by. Help. This Lyrica has to be taken off the market.

I am being Rx'd Lyrica, 50 mg 3x/day for bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome--so far have only felt dizzy and helps me sleep, so will keep posted. Am afraid to continue, so only take once per day---has anyone only taken a small dose such as this? Have read all of the posts since first and am a little confused: Is "Vicky" the same person as "Miranda," as I saw a 'signature' on one of the posts, maybe 2, and that they are signed "Vicky/Miranda."??? Just curious, no big deal. Also, where did Roy go--the guy with all of the problems with Lyrica? Hope he is okay. It sure may be hard to pass the bar with all of the confusion and problems he's had with this drug. God Bless you all and will keep you posted. Please, someone let me know if this relatively 'small' dose of 50 mg taken just before bedtime is enough to do any damage--
Thanks. Lexie.

I took lyrica for fibromyalgia for about two weeks last year and started having voice problems. Went to ent and they gave me medicine for acid reflux and sinus which didn't help my voice problems. I believe it was the lyrica and am still having difficulty speaking. Dr suggested speech therapy. My sister also had the same problem, but hers went away when she stopped taking lyrica. I am depressed and going to mental health specialist, but it is not helping my speech problems.

Lexie, Marcie, & BadMed, Glad you found this site & are connecting Lyrica to your problems even though the doctors choose to be blind to the side effects of this hideous drug.
Lexie, in my experience yes, 50 mg/day can cause problems. You may not see them as quickly but the longer I was on it, the worse my symptoms became. There are also problems that you may not be aware of for months or years like tooth damage & decreased blood clotting (which can wreak havoc on someone who has endometriosis). This drug damages/kills nerves. Naturally if your nerve is dead you won't feel as much pain, but you may not be able to move your hand, see, or hear eventually too (a few examples from people's posts).

Marcie, I'm not clear if you're having voice problems (tone, volume, pitch) or problems speaking (can't find correct words, think one word & say a different one, have garbled speech). I don't know of anyone who has had voice effects, but MANY have speech problems. If it is speech, its because your brain is not working the way it used to, much like someone who had a stroke. This can resolve partially or completely over time as the brain is great at laying new neural pathways. Working with someone who assists stroke patients will allow a quicker & more complete recovery than doing nothing.

I wish you all the best in your recoveries. There is a lot of information in back posts & also on Facebook at the Lyrica Survivors page. Stay strong & beware of Drs. claiming this is all in your head!!

Lexie, I signed up here as Miranda, a screen name, but started using my real first name here after Amy started Lyrica Survivors on Facebook because I use my real name there. Hope that clears it up.

Just wanted to mention something I ran across today, especially w/regard to Marcie. I saw part of a tv program "Mystery Diagnosis" & a woman was having problems speaking, her voice was tight & broken when speaking but she could yell just fine. Turns out there is a condition called Spasmodic Dystonia, a neurological disorder causing the larynx to spasm. I thought it might be relevant since so many people have posted problems with muscle spasms &/or neurological symptoms. Just a thought... Hope every day brings you all closer to a healthy joyful life!

This sounds like my problem. I can yell out words, but speaking is gaspy.
