Lyrica Lawsuit (Page 36)

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

Uh-Oh, more sde effects. So what. When is the next commercial coming out. Suicidal tendencies, blurry visio or loss of eye sight? So what! We are only destroying afew neurons. The brain has plenty. What kinds of pain do we will use lyrica for. Hmmm, I got it! What about migraines chronic pain conditions, diabetes, arthritis herniated discs and maybe a stubbed toe. Hmmm, seems like we can use it for any kind of pain. People do not care if a few neurons or neural connections are destroyed. We made our money. Hmmm, what other tried and true med, which has been around twenty-five years or more. Maybe another universal drug to kill all the bacteria inside and outside the body? Hmmm, probably will have some side effects, why the new drug may cure HIV, Hepititis, and cancer to boot. How was my little story. Manufacture a drug, testing as required by law, and release iit to the guenea piigs outsde and see what happens to the general pibli.,you and me and never havve an advocate and pfyzer and their kind make money. Remember the drug thalamine and the birth defects it caused. We must keep fighting, some times when I read the postings, it seems many of have given up. I never will. I was forced to leave a job that I loved after twenty-nine years of service. I know lyrica was a big reason my emploers left me go.

Hi Mary ,from what i have seen from my son, Lyrica is also a dumbing down drug , my son was a brilliant student before takeing lyrica , fyzzer is probably thinking Lyrica will make people to stupid to realise the cause of there problem .

Hi Cyndy , the same goes with my son ,his last dose was 2.8 years ago and is still unwell because of Lyrica , his memory and concentration are shocking especialy for a 19 year old, this stuff causes brain damage and the most fustrating thing is doctors refuse to achnowledge that it is the Lyrica and officialy record and register the side effect , they have never heard of a drug that never wears off , we need to push our doctors to register our complaint so the information will get back to the relevent authoritys .

Every time I read a new post here I so identify with the problems that I find it hard to believe no one is listening or doing anything about this drug. I am not the person I used to be. My life has changed so dramatically. I can't remember things, I can't focus on anything for very long and sometime forget what I am doing while I am doing it. I stay anxious but can't figure out what to do about it. I don't know if this drug affects everyone or not, but it certainly affected me. I have spread the word to my family and friends that if a doctor suggests Lyrica or the generic form of it to anyone they know or themselves, they need to avoid it at all costs.

Hi Dianne , you mentioned feeling amxious , Lyrica triggered a very severe anxiety disorder with my son who is now 19 years of age , this is near impossible to treat because it is not a normal biological anxiety but one caused by drug damage from Lyrica , there is a huge difference in his academic ability and personality after lyrica ,this is a truly very dangerous drug . I would like to know if any one else out there has had a sudden on set of severe anxiety following treatment with Lyrica ,

Lyrica damaged my eyesight, swelling all over, severe weight gain, and took my hair out in 60 days. that was in 2006 and my eyesight has gotten much worse. I had 20/20 vision before this stuff. so im truly waiting for lyrica is exposed for the damage it does short term.

F you want to contact me about lyrica you may. Several postings ago, I do not know the number this site gave us permission to contact each other. There is one in our group who says he has a lawyer trying to find someone who will take our case on. If you do contact me it may take a day or two to answer you. I have gone back to school for another skill. But at 62 and lyrica , even though it has been six years, I still have probles with memory and coordination. Some one told me we need @ least 40 people for a class action suit. I don't know. Check me out.I was a and still a victim but not like some of you. I think of myself as a lucky one. God bless you all. I hope my posting gets through.

Nick, my husband committed suicide after being on Lyrica for one month. If you hear about any open lawsuits, please post the info. I have called my lawyer and left a voicemail, so hopefully I will hear something soon.

My wife killed herself after taking lyrica for less than week. I didn't know she was taking it- got samples somewhere. I can't find any lawyers that will talk to me about options. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kevin, I am about at that point, but I keep hoping I'll get better. With pain in joints, toes so swollen can't wear shoes, saddest feeling I've ever had, even through deaths of mother, husband and sister. I am so sorry you or your wife didn't know what was happening.

I was afraid this would happen evetually. When I had my second child back in the 80s I was given zomax for pain while in the hospital. A few months later I ws giiven zomax for pain. Since I was a nurse @ the time I knew the minute I took the first dose, I was having an allergy reaction. I was going into anaphylactic shock. Luckly my family doctor was one block away. He gave me eprinephrine and had his nurse keep an eye on me. I recovered. A few years later the fda pulled zomax off the market becausr people were dying from allergy reactions. Contact the fda and ask for a form to fill out about lyrica is a bad drug.

Lyrica should be taken off the market...Pfizer is making billions and people are suffering and dying because of it. They have paid a big fine for mislabeling ...
This is what I read:
Lyrica is one of four drugs which a subsidiary of Pfizer in 2009 pleaded guilty to misbranding "with the intent to defraud or mislead". Pfizer agreed to pay $2.3 billion (1.4 billion) in settlement, and entered a corporate integrity agreement. Pfizer illegally promoted the drugs and caused false claims to be submitted to government healthcare programs for uses that were not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

That's been done and noting has happened. Pfizer paid a 2.1 billion dollar settlement that each state got a huge chunk of. Both parties. Since then they've been getting away w murder. Even this site is oddly moderated. Even facebook search results so we can coordinate and create a loud public voice are interfered with. They know exactly what they are doing obviously. Which is why none of are getting anywhere in spite of the clear physical damage lyrica has done to us. It is not being responded to by authorities in the same manner other drugs have been our whole lives. Apparently they paid out enuf to have the rules bent or changed or dozens of lawyers would be chasing us down to get a piece of the action. But clearly they are afraid to. It could mess up their career to go against the powers that be operating the bar in their states. I've had most of my posts here moderated and changed, sometimes to make it look like I can't spell, sometimes to drop out key points or to change a word from 'short' to 'shot' to make me look menacing or crazy etc. Yup, they are covering every angle so far.

Brandy , there is nothing more i would like tthan to sue these money hungry corrupt bastards for what there product has done to my son ,and every one else who has come to grief, we all deserves recognition and compensation for what Lyrica has done to our lives , the hardest thing though will be the medical evedence , how do you conclusively prove the damage in a court of law , lawers will use the doubt card to full advantage as well as character assasinations , we need concrete medical evedence , what test is available? .will our numbers and testimonys suffice ?

Hi Kevin , i am so very sorry to hear about your wife , this unfortunatly is a known and documented side effect of lyrica that no one who takes the drug believes it will actually happen to them ., as Lyrica alters the brain waves in eppileptic patients for whom Lyrica was first developed for, what is this stuff doing to the brain waves of healthy brains

Dear Kevin and Brandy, please try and contact me. There is a posting from this site awhile back that will let you contact some of us privately. The poosting is from this site. I hope this gets through. I have called a lawyer, rottenstein (think that is how they spell their name) I told them about what happened but they need more of us to call them. If the site will let me I will try to post their number. If not, you will have to look them up on line.
