Lyrica Lawsuit (Page 65) (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

Can you help someone in the U.S.? I have been off Lyrica for at least seven years and still have memory loss. Also I sometimes want to say something but I can't get the words out

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.

Our e-petition "The human right to safety and informed consent for medical consumers" has now been published by the UK Government. You can view this e-petition at: epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/67508. You can also share this URL to promote the e-petition. You do not need to be a UK resident or citizen to sign it. If we get 100,000 signatures, we can have a debate in the UK Parliament about Lyrica, if we get 1,000,000 signatures, we can take it to court, on your behalf, for adjudication. There is no statute of limitation for matters such as serious harm to patients.

I tried to sign it but it doesn't seem as if it went through. I says that you need to be a citizen of the UK to sign an e-petition.

Hello All:

Just to let you know that the "RotLaw" site again declined my case as being worthy of representation. I don't know what they need other than enough "FDA Adverse Event" notifications from all of us out here to see the worthiness of taking on Pfizer.

"Thank you again for contacting the Rottenstein Law Group. Because the firm represents only those with specific injuries caused by certain products, we have determined that we can not offer to represent you in a legal action. This message will serve as formal notification that RLG is declining to represent you; no attorney-client relationship has been created."

Hello Faron, I am from Canada. I have contacted several law firms who are not interested in my case. I too have suffered many lasting effects from Lyrica, and I know it is still being prescribed. I have seen specialists for hearing loss, blurred vision and memory problems. Everyone has said, "it is purely a coincidence that you have these problems," and further......that Lyrica is not a problem drug.

So was Darvocet , yet they pulled it off the market , but this drug had less side effects than Lyrica and Darvocet was on the market longer than Lyrica and it didn't affect a person's memory!!

Hi Mary,
I'm so sorry you've been left with the wretched cognitive issues. I know so many others like you. In fact, it seems to me that once we begin experiencing the side effects, it's almost too late to expect to withdraw from the drug and return to our pre-lyrica state. I do believe the brain-training programs will help you over time, perhaps a long time. And I'm sure you're doing all the right things like taking your Omega 3-6-9/fish oils etc. I have a book around here somewhere that talks specifically about the ability of the brain to rebuild itself - at least in some circumstances (we're all different and there's no guarantee.) I'll see if I can find it again - dust it off and read it properly. I'll let you know if I find anything really helpful.

Hi Mary , hope you are right about the brains ability to heal it self , do you really think my son can recover his sharp photographic and highly analytically mind again and recover from the anxiety disorder Lyrica triggered along with its memory destroying ,, he is still on lexapro so that must still be having a brain altering effect , don't know what to do about this , i wonder if there is any one out there who has taken lyrica for months or years on end with a dose of at least 300mg per day who has not been permanently damaged by Lyrica ? if they have would like to hear from them ..

Nick, it may take a long time, maybe years. Encourage him to do puzzles and games that require a lot of use for his brain. Chess and checkers are two good games. There ate many others. I know L yrica did a number on your son but keep trying.

Nick, because of. Lyrica's effect on your son's brain why don't you go on line and Google Luminosity. They have a lot of brain games. You do have to pay for it buy I don't think it costs that much. It may help your son and you might enjoy playing the games with him or give him a little help if he's stuck??

Vicky, I used Lyrica for about aa month 5-6 years ago and have had double vision ever since. I have to get special glasses that correct it. I guess it will never go away as it has been years. I just went onlin and googled "Lyrica Lawsuits" and saw several I suggest you do the same. Good luck. I am going to check into it..

Lyrica, took it post below knee amputation. It did as was described, treating phantom pain syndrome post amputation.
BUT, nobody told me the side affects of Lyrica, or its non-brand names.
This was my symptoms, taking Lyrica,
I couldn't add columns of numbers, I couldn't read a newspaper without great difficulty. I couldn't read books without reading the same page maybe eight times over and over again. Crossword puzzles, and Word Search games are an ordeal.
I took an online reading test, and I came up as "dyslectic" now.
I didn't experience weight gain. But reading skills were greatly impacted. I do use now type set size much bigger than before. Why? Because font 10 causes my eyes to dart about a page. I now use font 14 BOLD. I also use page blocking to isolate a sentence on one line at a time. If I intend to read and comprehend. This because I was using Lyrica, 650mg.

My Son complained about exactly the same thing , it cost him his year 11 studies as he could no longer comprehend complex mathematics , hold a sentence in his head and said the characters on his pages were moving around like ants , Lyrica destroyed his education and that was on 300mg per day .

it started with nightmares, rapidly increased to a couple hours of sleep with night and day mares, soon i was delusional! afraid to leave my couch, in my delusions i thought i was 4 or 5 years old. became fearful of my wonderful husband, my beautiful 17 yr old christian daughter. In my delusions i only wanted my mom and dad. i could not understand this man(my husband) telling me i was a 48 yr old woman with 3 children. in an almost constant state of terror! i have been thru the panic disorder and had learned to almost overcome it. this is totally new and beyond the panic disorder i had lived with from age 20 and had almost totally overcome! i am currently a run away, i have come to my mother and fathers home where i feel safe, for now until i can pull myself together and return to my awesome husband and 3 beautiful children of my own! there has to be some law firm not afraid to take on the drug manufacturer! anyone?!

I am now 22 and I began taking lyrica at 17. I took Lyrica from 17-21 and I had terrible withdrawals while weaning off and then after I had completed the standard weaning period I continued to have gastric and nervous system issues. I am still dealing with gastric problems(vomiting every day unless I have anti-nausea medicine from the dr such as promethozene) but I have noticed a small difference in my nervous system symptoms(i.e. numbness, tingling, depth perception etc etc). I am waiting for the 1-800-BADDRUG commercial to show. It does validate my experience to see all these people! When I began taking Lyrica it was the new "saving grace" for those with fibromyalgia and of course I began taking it without ever knowing that these side effects would take away more than a year of my life by making me so ill.
