Hello, MJ! How are you? I'm very sorry about what happened.

Lyrica has been known to cause those types of side effects in some people that take it, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight gain.

However, have you stopped taking it? If so, then the side effects should not still be lingering months later. Have you had an evaluations done to see if there may be some other cause?
