Visual Effects

Recently I was prescribed Lyrica for nerve pain after fracturing my C5 vertebrae. The medicine was taken as prescribed by my physician. After taking said medication for two weeks, I began experiencing unusual effects pertaining to my vision. To describe this visual side-effect i would say I lost a percentage of my eye sight. A simple comparison would be as if you had been flashed in your eyes by a camera. Only there was no camera flash... This occurred arbitrarily and without warning. I contacted my physician and was advised to discontinue use. Anyone else?

There are actually a number of Lyrica threads on here pertaining to its side effects. I think you may find the one's below helpful in that regard; as others have complained about double vision, dry eyes, dizziness, etc:

Additionally, "blurred vision, double vision, or other changes in eyesight", have been listed as severe side effects of Lyrica, which usually calls for contacting your doctor and stopping the medication. So you did the right thing.

I hope this info helps!
