Lyrica Lawsuit (Page 58)

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

Wow, Margie! That doc shouldn't even be allowed to practice medicine! As a patient and nurse, I'd tell you to file a complaint with the state board. I knew immediately what your issue was or assumed from many years of practice and I'm not an MD. Bless your heart, literally. I keep looking for help all over the net but only came upon the rot. com from another blogger. All the best to you.

Faron , which country are you in and if not from Australia ,are you able to represent us here as well ? my son has suffered terribly because of this horror drug and at 21 years of age still continues to do so , he has not had a dose of lyrica for just over 4 years, but still suffers memory problems and anxiety disorder that he had absolutely no sign of before he took lyrica , the transformation from a very sharp .alert memory and the ability to handle complex mathematics to having great difficulty remembering what happened yesterday was so instant and dramatic we could instantly see what the lyrica had done ......

Dear Nick, I am based in London, UK. I was the EU Regulatory Manager for Lyrica in 2008, and resigned from my responsibilities at Pfizer, because I could see for myself what it was doing to my patients. The consultant behind this product has been imprisoned in the US, and disqualified from medical practice, for falsifying clinical trial data. I have brought criminal proceedings on the grounds of Crimes Against Humanity, because I continue to see what Lyrica is doing to my patients on a day-to-day basis. Feel free to report your concerns to me. {edited for privacy}. Best wishes, Faron.

I'm trying to get myself together again since taking this drug. When I was on it I couldn't think correctly. I couldn't read a single paragraph with any comprehension. My eyes started to go bad very quickly and I couldn't see to read, Before taking LYRICA I never had any problem reading, only slight change in my distant vision although not even enough to warrant correction.After dealing with the CHF caused by LYRICA I still can't walk up a flight of stairs without real effort breathing. I've since lost some of the 60 lb weight gain which piled on over just 6 months on LYRICA but it took years to lose. Now I'm told I have cataracts. No one on either side of my family had cataracts! When I'm lecturing to my nursing students I stop in the middle of a sentence because I can't think of the next word. When this happens it must surely appear that I'm having a focal seizure although I'm just concentrating my very hardest to think of the next word I need to say. I can see the concerned look on my student's faces when this happens. It feels as if there is a blank spot in the electrical conduction system of my brain or something. Almost like a piece has been removed from the wiring of my brain and the next piece of memory is missing. I'm not talking big medical terminology or pathophysiology vocabulary is missing...I'm talking common, every day words go missing from my brain when I'm speaking...or just thinking. I had very healthy teeth until I took LYLRICA and then suddenly I had to have several root canals due to LYRICA and then ended up with the teeth being pulled anyhow. There is definitely something WRONG with this drug. As a R.N. I know my body quite well. As a former Project Manager of Clinical Trials at one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world I also know that these things should not be happening with an FDA approved drug. I know my body very well and I know when these things occurred to me and they are directly related to taking LYRICA.

Dr Faron:
I read the trouble you were having with Phyza ( please excuse any spelling mistakes.) When you were working on Lyrica were all the side effects made public? Were any side effects deliberately left out or falsified? It seems to me that every new side effect was noted, it was then noted and added to the advertising that was on TV. I know when I was on it sometime in 2006 or 2007 and the doses given to people, these effects were not on TV, every new side effect discovered, was added to the commercials ads on TV. Was the whole world the guenie pigs?

Guys, I am not sure why "Mary" is misspelling Pfizer. Much of the data has been and remains undisclosed. This takes away the right to choose for patients.

Thank you for your reply Dr Faron , My son was prescribed lyrica for recurring whiplash pain when he was nearly 17 years of age at a starting dose dose of 75mg x2 per day , Prescribed by Dr Terrence Lim ,at North Eastern rehab Melbourne Aust, before commencing lyrica he was a very bright promising student in Year 11 at Trinity Grammar school in kew Melbourne Australia studying mainly mathematics and science subjects and despite loosing significant amounts of time from study due to recurring bouts of neck pain , could read through his text books the night before , attend his exams the next day and obtain a high score , my son had a 5 week break from lyrica earlier in the same year and took that long to recove r from the side effects of lyrica and then had a painful flair up in neck/ thoracic pain mid 2010 so Dr Terrence Lim told him to re commence lyrica at 74mg x4 per day , after 2 weeks he looked so ill i decided to slowly wean him off it and to this day his memory is totally shot , suffers from a severe Anxiety disorder that he had no sigh of before Lyrica , we have no family history of psychiatric disorders , the transition was so instant that it was very obviously caused by the lyrica ,it was like turning a light bulb off , i do not know what the future holds for him as he cannot retain new information and despite having tried a raft of Anxiety medications including lexapro that he is on now, still suffers to the point he is very dysfunctional , my son is a non drinker and smoker and takes no other medication besides the Lexapro , he also suffers recurrent head aches and his eye sight although not to bad is not as good as it was before lyrica , ,my son academically is now 3 years behind his peers which distresses him , this has been for our family a real tragedy , a trip to hell,as this young mans life has been ` dramatically curtailed by this dreadful medication , also while he was on lyrica experience very significant hair loss but luckily this has recovered . ,from the time of the accident to the commencement of lyrica there was a time lapse of several years and many examinations so there is positively no other medical reason for his problem ,the pain was not of a constant nature but suffered recurrent flair ups due to heavy school bags , sport , ect ....so pain induced anxiety has been ruled out , also verified by prior examinations at the Royal Children s Hospital, My Sons name is Con G., please represent us in the European court of Criminal Justice. thank you, Nicholas G.
