What kind of side effect do you have? I took it for 4 days only and stopped it because I started feeling numbness in my legs and arms. Since then, I have had many side effects such as nausea, diarhea, problems sleeping, short of breath, fatigue, general feeling of being sick but the most strong and most annoying in my case was the numbness in my legs and arms. Its been 7 weeks that I have stopped it and I can feel that the side effects are almost gone. It has been hell for me!

Mini, thank you for responding to my question.I'm sorry for what you are going through. The very first night I took the Lyrica the trouble started & has continued, today is 1 week since I stopped it. I wake up in the middle of the night with a burning sensation in my left hjp, thigh & knee so intense that it feels like I'm being roasted like a marshmellow. When this happens I can't move even a inch w/o the burning sensation going up & down, stinging & the burning increases to an unbearable degree. I can't cough, clear my throat or cry. My husband has to gently move me into as comfortable a position as possible while each tiny movement is extremely painful. During the day it burns constantly. My walk is off balance, I'm unsteady & in pain. When I sit down both of my legs & feet go numb & tingly. Yesterday I couldn't even get off tbe toilet for about 5 -10 minutes because I couldn't stand up. My appetite has been affected as well as my energy which is seriously lacking. I am constantly miserable & depressed about this. I pray for both our sakes that these side effects stop soon. Good luck.

Hello, Wanda! How are you feeling? I am so sorry about the problems that you're having.

Please consult your doctor immediately! Those are not normal side effects of Lyrica, but could signify some other problematic health conditions that require prompt treatment.

Mini, you should also have yourself checked out. After just 4 days of taking it, such side effects should not still linger.

What dose were you both taking?

Hi guys, I have seen my family doctor many time during the last 2 months, I was so scared and didn't know what was going wrong with me. My doctor did not think that the side effects could last that long after stopping taking it so she sent me to take a scan, i had many UA's and blood work as well as an EMG (to see if my nerves are sick) well, everything came back normal. That is great news but it is exactly what I was expecting because I am so convinced that all this was caused by this drug. I have never had these symptoms prior to taking this. Now it has been 8 weeks and the symptoms are almost all gone, I still have the numbness and tingling in my legs when I sit.

Verwon, I took 25mg twice a day for the first 3 days and on the fourth day, as soon as I doubled my dose, that it when the numbness and tingling in my limbs started. I know it seems unreal as it is only for 4 days, I guess there is something in that drug my body cannot tolerate. I know that the side effects I was having are not very common according to the reading I did on the net but they can happen.

Wanda, I will pray for you but hang in there, it will eventually go away.
