Lyrica Lawsuit (Page 47) (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

Nick, I've been on 50 mg for 2 1/2 years. I saw evidence of some side effects w/ 75, so I stuck with 50 once a day. Before Lyrica, I was a mess. I had daily attacks of trigeminal neuralgia that impaired my ability to do anything normal and some days could not drive a car. This is the first drug I could tolerate and it's changed my life back to what it was before I had neuralgia. I should never have posted on this thread. I discuss issues with some other folks who are doing well with it on another discussion group. I'm sorry some folks can't take it. But I need the administration to take my name off of this thread. I hope you all get relief somewhere.

Nick, if you want to talk more about lyrica, look for wagaman on face. It could be about a maiden name attached to me. Renee has contacted me and so has kim and D boy. D boy supposdely has found a lawyer. I hope it is not a scam. If youdecide to contact me, I will tell you what lyrica did to me, however I consider myself one of the lucky ones who have gotten off lyrica. I hope to hear from you, but if you do not want to that is alright. I understand. Bye. Hope to hear from you.

I took Lyrica for only two months and figured out myself what havoc it was wreaking on my body (swollen toes, swollen fingers, muscle aches all over, joint pain all over, poor concentration, etc. My doctor never warned me of any side effects. I have been off it now for 10 days and I still have all those side effects. The owner of one of our herb and organic stores suggested I take Super Thisilyn (milk thistle), a Detox formula, along with N-A-C (N-Acetyl-L-Csteine), support for liver function.

Hi Nick, Hopefully I got off the stuff before too much damage was done, but I'm still not as sharp as I used to be. Takes me forever to make a decision, even at the grocery store on minor things, like do I want instant oatmeal or old fashioned when I know all the time I do not like instant! An errand that should take me 30 minues ends up an hour or more. I can't imagine the damage that must be done to your son if 2-1/2 years have passed since he quit taking it. How old is your son? This drug should be banned, and I'm sure when it cripples or kills enough people, it will be.

Thanks Betty , my son is now 19 years of age , he was first put on Lyrica at the age of 16 and had a total of about 5 months on it at doses up to 75 mg x 4 per day which was ridiculous for a young skinny child , all i have heard from him since he came of lyrica is i wont my brain back , i wont my life back , he knows what he had before Lyrica and knows what is left now and this distresses him , Lyrica has wreaked havoc on his ability to remember complex facts and concentrate so has ruinend his education and there bye his socio economic pecking order in society and his enjoyment of life , the sad thing is that the effects of Lyrica will take many years to prove scientificly if at all .

Hi Nick ... talk to a naturopath or health food pro and get your son on some sort of de-tox supplement. I noticed several different types at the health food store. And try to not let doctors prescribe antidepressants -- they only made me more depressed! The guy at my health food store advised me to get out in the sunshine as much as possible .. can't do that in Birmingham (Al) today because we are actualy getting snow. Have the doctors check for a vitamin deficiency. (D, B-12, etc.) I'm sure Lyrica depletes essential nutrients in our system. 19 is far too young to have this problem...I think you should hire an attorney ... I certainly believe you have a good case againt Lyrica. Please keep me posted. I am 78 years old, but have been active and alert until Lyrica.

Thanks again Betty , my son is already on a lot of vitamin suppliments and he tried a lot of different exersises including cycling as what you said about lyrica has already crossed my mind but there has been no change in his condition , i still suspect Lyrica actually causes brain function damage or a permanent change in the way the brain functions ., so dont believe vitamins and such will cure the problem . As far as getting an attorney the first thing i get is where is your medical evedence , how do i get that , what test can be performed to prove that ?.
