https://rxchat.com/Discuss/SLEEPLESS-NIGHTS-ITCHING-238786_s2.htm?utm_source=forums_posts&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS My God, where do i start, I was put on Lyrica 5 months ago to help relieve Fibromyalgia/arthritus pain.... its all i was every on, in 10 weeks i gained 15 pounds, over time my entire body hurt like hell, no sleep at night at all.. i was a zombie, it got worse, my eyesight, especially at night was worse. I knew something was happening but couldnt really put my finger on it. The itching was horrendous. Now, im not a sick lady, my knee pain got worse, i was told at age 65 i neede a walker, going from a healthy active person to toatll disbelief as to what was happening to me... i wish there was a law suit, id get on the band wagon.. please, please be careful taking this med. I started off on 75mg per day, nothing was happening, nothing, no difference, then went to 150 mg. per day, my life was a mess. I took myself off LYRICA 2 WEEKS AGO, IM STARTING TO FEEL SOME NORMALCY AGAIN, STILL ITCHING, BUT NOT NEARLY AS BAD. Thank goodness for these forums and technology today... Never will i take this pill agin, crazy i was... - Filed in Lyrica en-us Copyright 2026 RxChat.com. All Rights Reserved.

Thank you sooo much for reply. I'am slowly getting back to my old self. Actually i had been on 75mg. of <a href="https://rxchat.com/Drugs/Lyrica/" target="_blank">Lyrica</a> to start and then wasnt feeling any difference and Dr. raised the dose to 300 mg. per day, which was a huge jump. I learned the hard way, im still itching but i believe thats from going cold turkey and abruptly stopping the pills. Probably shame on me, i couldnt stand itslowly im liking myself again and so is my Daughter...lol...

They learn generic details about average people, they will never know you as well as you do. <br/> <br/> Learn more <a href="https://rxchat.com/wiki/Lyrica/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Lyrica details</a> here. <br/> <br/> I'm glad you're feeling better though, are things still improving?
