My past Dr. gave me lyrica and every since then I've had several seizures, 2 while driving, 5 times I woke up in the middle of the night sleeping on my picnic table. One of my car accidents I was having a seizure and I drove up three electrical wires. My husband said that I had brought in glasses of gasoline a few times and I woke up in my driveway and split the back of my head open. I do not recall any of this happening these are what my husband and my children are telling me that has happened I have memory loss I have to search for words at times when I'm talking to people I can't work anymore because I have a bad back and do to the falls from the seizures and epilepsy I have fractured almost every vertebrae in my back there's more but it's just too much to list right now

Wow! I definitely don't think this is the right medication for you to take. Both the FDA and NIH warn that if you experience such dangerous side effects, you should stop taking it and see your doctor as soon as possible.

What dosage are you currently taking? Are you on any other medications?

Has there been any change, or are you still experiencing issues?
