Lyrica Lawsuit (Page 72) (Top voted first)
UpdatedDoes 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
I had a real bad experience with lyrica. It caused me to go into a cardiac arrest, hallucinating, heart racing, panic attacks and I couldn't breath. Yes ma'am keep in contact with me. {edited for privacy}.
Hi Heather,
I'm in Australia and I cannot find anyone game enough to fight it in court. But believe me when I say "They all know about it, it is just that they will not state it as this would force them into court". My doctor just took one look at me (after I had tried to commit suicide due to the drug and was found dead in my car in bush land and have no memory of the whole incident) and said "OH MY GOD YOU HAVE HAD THE WORSE REACTION TO LYRICA". My partner at the time was there with me and heard the whole thing and once we started to question him as to W.T.F do you mean? he said straight away "I will never repeat what I just said as I am not prepared to go to court"..... EVERYONE doesn't believe it accept my surgeon and Pain Specialist have now put it in writing, but NO lawyer has the guts to start any legal action. You can even go to Lyrica.com and it states it on the home page that it has severe side effects. And when I have mentioned this site all other doctors laugh it off and say we are all full of s*** and all we are trying to do is get money so therefore sadly even though we all know too well what we are saying is true..... we will never be heard.
You should first start with your DOCTOR with the lawsuit because according to my GP the legal daily dose should not exceed 600 mg.
Connie, getting the letters mixed up sounds like you may have developed Dyslexia, which is something my son was diagnosed with at a very young age so that's why I know a lot about it. Now if you were to say that you were having trouble with remembering the words as a whole, such as myself that would be different. And it can be words that you have used all your life when in a conversation but just won't come out when you need them to or maybe you have to set there and think about it for a few seconds and even then it may never come to you unless you ask someone. I have to ask my son all the time to help me with the word I am trying to use but can't seem to get the thought process going to be able to get it out. I have been on Lyrica off and on for almost 10 years now. I give myself a break from it from time to time and deal with the pain in other ways or with the opioids I have to take for other types of pain or use the Volteran Gel prescribed to help in conjunction with the Lyrica and the opioid. I also use a moist/dry heating pad and ice packs as well. I hope you get the relief you are seeking and I too am searching for an attorney who may be involved in a class action lawsuit over this drug because I am having a myriad of symptoms, too many to name because of this medication but like some folks, I just can't afford pain wise to cut it completely out of my life until they can come up with something else that controls the terrible stinging/burning/stabbing pains from Fibro. Good luck to you hun... :)
Hi everyone, along with most of the problems everyone is having, in the last year I have started getting a very bad temper that was not there before taking Lyrica and the doctors think I am just seeking drugs,that is not the case here. I have started backing off the opiods so l can hopefully get my life back. Lyrica is a very bad drug.
If there isn't there should be. Lyrica is bandied around like lollies. I have been on 100mg for over 2 years until yesterday-after reading what these things do to the actual brain I have now cut the dose in half & will most definitely will be cutting id down to zero as soon as possible. They make you think that the pain is reduced but the side effects are very definitely not worth it & I will never go on it again. I need my brain to work properly not be fuddled & have the synapses reduced.
PLEASE LYRICA USERS LOOK INTO THE NEW 7 - 2016 PATIENT SAFTY INFORMATION 80+ side effects I had soooooooo many for 10+ years , these are years I spent isolating depressed in pain. Is this the reason the Dr.s used Lyrica in the first place. 2-3-2017
thank you for the phone number,one day we Lyrica takers will have our turn! And as for Pfizer drop in $$$$
Hey guys, is anyone here from Australia, and seeking legal advice, for the debylatating side effects caused by the use of lyrica, if so could you please keep me updated on progress. Remember this one thing, We are all victims of this despicable drug, and i firmly believe we should all be compensated for the ongoing suffering caused by this medication.
Good morning, one thing everyone has to remember is that we are in charge of our own care. If your doctor keeps prescribing Lyrica then it's time to find a new doctor if you don't like what lyrica is doing to you. That's what I did I found a new doctor I'm happy with the doctor and we found that the side effects of Lyrica have caused some mental illness and we're trying to treat that right now.
Hi all, Jim you make a valid point, but there are people who are not in the same position as you, e.g. others may not be able to see due to lack of doctors in the area where they reside, doctors refusing to take on new patients, it may even be as a result of them not having the financial resources. In Australia not all doctors will bulk bill for their services, even though they have the capabilities to do so. I put this down to greed, as they are paid the next day for bulk billing, by the Australian government. Therefore if you do not have the finances what else can you do. I hope this answers your question.
Thank you, that is a very good point. The resources in the US may be getting harder to.
I am wondering the same. My daughter died on Valentines Day this year (2017) and I believe that she became more suicidal after she commenced Lyrica. I too am in Australia.
I am so sorry to hear that your daughter passed, please when you're able take time to write down what she was like before the Lyrica and what she was like after the Lyrica. That was one of the reasons why I stopped taking Lyrica along with the swelling and difficulty breathing.
I also am suffering the deepest depression from this drug.I've been on it for about 12 yrs and i am a complete mess,But the withdrawal is so intense I also feel imprisoned .I live in US and am wondering about a law suit. I have lost many years and much health.If anyone knows of help please let me know.
I'm in on this law suit . Please let me know I have been suffering for about 12 years with these side effects.
Thanks Jim, will do that. I don't seem to be able to find much info about law suits in Australia. Not sure where to even start.
I am looking for the same as you . Lyrica destroyed my life in so many ways. Please help. Thank you and i hope that you can find a way to repair what Lyrica did to you
Hi I'm Munice, I hear everyone talking about Lyrica lawsuit. I've been taking Lyrica 400 mg a day for about a year. I suffer from back pains( imbulging discs), diabetes, poly arthritis, nerve damage, and I been hurting severely for over a year, from my feet (can barely walk sometimes), hands, hip, neck, shoulder, chest, and legs. My feet and hands swell, I've gained over 50 lbs, my body just aches, I've been taking Lyrica along with lots of other meds, including injections and nothing works. I can't work and it just make me really tired and depressed. Even my eyes get blurry at times. If you all come up with a lawsuit, please inform me. I can't even work, because if I stand too long I swell and my feet turns
Hi All. I am discussing the options with a lawyer in Australia. My husband suddenly passed away at 40 & I am convinced Lyrica contributed to it. Once I know more I'll update. How many people here are from Australia?
