Lyrica Side Effects, Love It/hate It

I've been on Lyrica for 5 years, now at 100 mg/3 times a day. Overall, I would say this drug has been very helpful. It does work and the side effects have been minimal. However - I have begun to have headaches due to tight muscles in my upper body. In all the forums I have researched I haven't come across tight muscles as one of them - headaches, yes, tight muscles, no. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello, Maryb1953! How are you doing? Sorry about the problem that you're having.
Actually, it has been known to cause myoclonus in about 4% of the people take it. It's an involuntary muscle jerk/spasm, so that could be what's causing your problem.
Learn more Lyrica details here.
Have you discussed it with your doctor?
Our bodies do change with time, so it's possible for new side effects or reactions to appear, even after you've been taking it for so long.
