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

Reference my post of 8/9; Tuesday: Well...saw a PA at my orthopaedist's office and related my concerns re: Lyrica and known side effects and my 'worries' over long-term, serious SE's noted on this site. Guess what? His response: I don't really know that much about any side effects or Lyrica! Yikes!!!!!! I guess I need to ask my pharmacist about this drug as it is quite apparent that the person who prescribed this drug to me doesn't know (or apparently care) about these reported side effects! My bet is that, unfortunately, many doctors really do not know what the heck they're prescribing and get their 'information' strictly from the pharma sales people who peddle these drugs and likely give a little 'incentive' to doctors/'providers'. I guess claiming 'ignorance' about any side effects would more likely get them ' off the hook' if any litigation were to occur. Oh well, I'm being very vigilant about taking this drug, even just once at night. Oh, also: I am Rx'd 50mg 3x per day---sooooo....I also asked this PA if it was okay to just take it once before bedtime and he replied: "You can take it any way you want"----do you believe that? Maybe it's time to insist on seeing the actual MD/surgeon in that practice as I fear this guy doesn't know much about anything, particularly about what responsibility a health care provider has when prescribing medication! Scary...to say the least!!!

No supprise about the Dr's not knowing or not saying thats my guess. The Dr's are being told that the only thing to worry about is suiside, the makers are pumping millions into the sale of this poison. I am calling the FDA and making a complaint on behalf of my wife. Maybe if we all do that someone will listen.

from what i can gather there are strict prescribing guidelines the doctor must follow as well as a duty of care to monitor you for side effects. so if he doesnt know i would not take it. if someone isnt monitoring you on lyrica you could end up not really being in the best position to help yourself. take care

my father in his 80's was prescribed lyrica for his feet and this drug nearly killed him. I finally persuaded him to come off it and he has made a remarkable recovery. I think something needs to be done about this drug, how many people are dying or seriously ill from this drug?

the drug company doesnt care the doctors are caught in the middle (although some leave alot to be desired regarding monitoring patients) but the government have played a role here too meg

I have been takeing lyrica during 2011 for nerve damage related to back injury and auto accident which led to nerve damage in my feet. The side affects have been intolerable. Started with rash on my legs then my entire body. My feet have swollen to the point I can barelly walk and at age 55 I feel my life has been destroyed. My family doctor finally sent me to a dermatologest when my feet became red swollen and broke out in horrible blisters at rash sites. These blisters break leaving running sores and holes that take forever to heal and become infected easily. I have had blurred eye site, achey muscles and joints, swollem feet and legs, terrible pain, rash on entire body and lost all top teeth and all but 8 on bottom since first of year. Until that time I had good teeth. I am looking for an attorney to take my case I have no insurance and this has financially drained me. My wife has fibromyalgia, osterarthritis and lupus and has been my primary care giver and it has affected her health. I regret the day this drug came into my life especially since it did little to help my problems to begin with. I feel for everyone that has been suffering from this drug and think the first thing to be done is to stop all the advertising of so called miracle drug.

Lexi,
I'm here, I am studying and cramming Law like a mad man. That's because "I am mad as hell". I am still stuck on Lyrica 4 - 300mg's a day. I have begged my doctor for help to get off of it period. My teeth are now bad, legs / feet swollen, can't even get my shoes on. I go out of my mind when I stop, I am a vegetable and need total care. So I continue to take the lyrica so I can finish law school. I will pass the bar the first TIME because I want to be the Counselor that burns the makers of LYRICA to the ground. I want to recover monetary damages for all of the pain and suffering for all of you / (us) beautiful, wonderful people in and out of this forum. There are also permanent damages to consider, serious damages that many of us have suffered, and will live withe the rest of our lives. I am on a enormous dose of Lyrica, I know what all of you are going through. Tapering off of Lyrica is a joke ! If some of you have done that you could have died unless you had the help of yet more drugs, and a real physician that actually cared. Don't try it on your own. I will seek or moreso demand compensation for this to help everyone. And paid proffesional help to stop taking Lyrica in a fashion that the patient / us, will not suffer the side effects while doing so. DO NOT TRY TO STOP TAKING THIS DRUG ON YOUR OWN OR "COLD TURKEY" IT CAN AND WILL KILL YOU ! LISTEN TO ME, THIS DRUG IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ! None of us knew this when it was prescribed, We all trusted our Doctors "wisdom". It is not our fault, just remember that. Please hang in there until I get out of Law school. I am on the fast track and will have my Bar within 5-7 months.
I apologize to all of you for not writing more often, but never think I'm not following this forum. There is enough evidence in this forum alone to burn their asses to the ground. And I vow to all of you to do just that. I will start airing commercials on prime time television the day after my Bar Exam. I have in the past phoned Attorney's all over this country, and not one wanted to get involved in this. I guarantee you when this airs on TV my phone will be ringing off the wall with not only victims of Lyrica, but also all of those attorneys wanting a piece of the action. I am a honest man as the day is long, and when I know I'm right about a particular item I will fight to the death. That's just always been my way, all or nothing. I have devoted my life now to severely punishing the makers of Lyrica, "PFIZER". I will also seek prison sentences for those "in the know" within that company. We just have no way of knowing how many people have passed away due to Lyrica. Their deaths are on their hands, and the families that step forward will recieve huge unbelievable compensations, just as those of us that still have our lives.
I want everyone here to know something, I honestly am not doing this to make money from any of your settlements although it is inevitable, I am doing this because I am a victim of this drug just as everyone here is.
* I want you all to please email your full names, addresses, and phone numbers to my private email address so I can compile all of the information and have it ready to go. If you are not able to do it please have a family member or friend do it for you.
My Email is : roydmoss@***********.net [1]
Everyone know this, I will fight for all of you with my heart. As I see it we have all become related and brought together by one common element, Lyrica. We have the law on our side. Everyone is going to recieve the best care possible to leave Lyrica behind free of charge. Most of us will probably have to travel for this treatment, but it will be worth it. Just knowing you will be recieving millions of dollars in compensation should lift your spirits a little hopefully. We'll all go buy some NEW TEETH ! Ithought this type of stuff ony happened to crack heads, I was wrong. My smile looks like a crack addict now, so all of you are not alone, we are in this together. In your email to me I ask that you make me a promise. If I get you the best pain free help to get off of Lyrica, and get you a pocket full of money, Promise me you will NEVER touch Lyrica Again, and use the money wise as a lifetime for yourself and your family. Send your children to college, and spend the rest of your lives catching up for all the time lost with family, friends and fun. You need to really live, travel, take the kids to Disneyworld. Get back in touch with reality and enjoy the beauty of the world, and the real love of a child, wife, mother and father. I love you all - Roy Moss

One more thing, I will become a Attorney to be reckoned with. I will fight and win this major lawsuit. When it is over, I will stop practicing law. I mean it. I will give this case all I have to give. There is power in prayer, so let's all use it together. Don't worry we will all get over this together. Talk to you soon. - Roy
