Lyrica Lawsuit (Page 48)

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

Malynn - I tried to make a post telling you to go back and read postings that go back much further and you could find out what we have tried to do in the past. Some of us have filed a complaint to the FDA and have contacted many lawyers. But for some reason they would not post it and I have no idea why. So I will try again please go back and read earlier postings - Renee

I have found a firm in the USA, (I am from Canada) who is currently gathering information and getting testimonials from persons affected. They are including Canadians as well. I don't know if we are allowed to post the contact on this board - could someone please advise me on this and I will share it.
Someone made a comment on contacting 60 Minutes, and we could also contact W5 as well. I believe it would only make the case stronger and reach a broader audience.

Portia - I know you contacted 100 law offices did you try a small law firm with just a few lawyers and has one lawyer that specializes in medical malpractice. It seems whenever I have contacted a law office online all I ever got back was a letter saying sorry. I don't know if you have tried that already just a thought. - wishing you the best, Renee

Hi Nick,
I hear you loud and clear. If there were an alternative to lawyers, I think we would all jump on board. I was on Lyrica and prescription narcotics for my pain. Family very concerned about dimminishing abilities. We all believed it was the narcotic boogey man. I am clean of both now, but with the introduction of lyrica - is when I began to loose my hearing and had double vision. As we have experienced, this is a foggy area in our recollection. I went to the pharmacy yesterday and asked for a printout of all lyrica meds in the past 4 years. Surprisingly, although I had stated that I did not want this med any longer, it continued to be prescribed to me under other names. So I took it alot longer than I thought I had, along with several months supply of samples in the beginning.

Thanks for your reply Judy , just out of interest , how long did you take the Lyrica for and at what dose ? my son varied between 2x75mg per day up to 4x75mg per day ,for around 5 months , i believe the high dose really did most of the damage .

Hi Nick,
I can give you a more detailed answer on Monday when I get the print out from the other pharmacy. But, what I am reading on this site is that high or low dosage may be irrelevant. That the drug itself and how it relates to each individuals brain function determines the damage done. I am an optimistic person, I still have hope in spite of the optometrist telling me that my eyesight will not improve. The audiologists' attitude makes me wonder, though. He insists that I must see a specialist to investigate if my hearing loss will be progressive even though I am no longer on this drug. For now, I have to rely on my husband and family to tell me events of the past two years. Like, who was here for Christmas last year, I honestly cannot recall. So, the pharmacy records are very important to me in order to chart what, where and when. Hope this answers some of your questions. I will give you a detailed report on dosages Monday. What I recall, somewhat, is that they started me out on a higher dosage, I could not tolerate it, they reduced it to 75 mg 2 x a day, and then continued to give it to me under another name when I said I didn't want it anymore.

Thanks for your reply Judy , the fact you were given lyrica under another name is very strange , sounds like they were very determined you were going to stay on it no matter what it was doing to you .

I contacted them, Rothenstein Law Firm, previously, even mentioning that I had been a Clinical Research Scientist for a major pharmaceutical company but that didn't mean enough to them either before they sent back their decision not to pursue this issue.

Hi Scarlet , it is very re assuring to meet some like your self that recognizes Lyrica for what it really is , as a friend of mine who is a qualified Pharmacist just shrugged his shoulders and said i have lots of patients on lyrica .

Nick:

Remember, just because your friend the pharmacist is considered to be a medical professional doesn't necessarily mean that he cares or that he has the ability to think critically about a situation even though it falls within his purview. If Lyrica had a negative effect on his business, or impacted HIS life in a negative manner...then you would see an empathetic response from him. There aren't as many people out there as you may expect who should, yet don't take a vested interest in the well-being of others. That's why it's necessary that all of us on this site continue to maintain forward impetus in our quest for the "powers that be" to recognize our plight, as well as the fact that Lyrica is still on the market and continues to damage more patients while the drug company profits at our expense.
