how is lyrica different and what is it prescribed for? Where are you getting the burning?

The symptoms were a bit of nauseous, but just a weird headache (sides of the head for some reason) and an overall blah and foggy feeling. I also heard that there is "brain zaps" fairly common in folks. This may be related to those feelings. It's hard to describe, but it wasn't pleasant at all. I also heard that it's bad for the male libido (delayed or no ejaculation, etc...) and that is fairly common side effect. All in all I'm not looking forward to it if I try it at all.

I have been on Lyrica before. Had to get off of it because it affected my memory and sent me into a very bad depression. My psychologist requested I get off Lyrica because of these side effects. Please be careful on Lyrica
Lyrica was the best thing I’ve taken for my neuropathy pain but can’t handle the side effects.
