I started taking Lyrica a few months ago and I was taking 75 in the morning and 75 at night and I can’t remember but the doctor I told him I was having some kind of a symptom and he said well maybe cut down to one a day and he said take it at night so I did Well I’ve been hurting. I ate from head to toe. I can’t hardly get up out of a chair off the toilet I’m in pain constantly unless I’m just sitting in the chair not moving then I’m OK. I’ve had real blurry brain fog. I can’t think of words that I normally used to say all the time I feel like I’m just kinda existing. I don’t care whether the house is clean or dirty if anything is picked up, I don’t wanna do anything anymore. I don’t know what to do. I didn’t know that Lyrica could cause this kind of problem now I’m believing that has a lot to do with everything. I’ve been experiencing constipation bloating Trouble, sleeping gas on my stomach lots and lots more side effects. I will be contacting my doctor. Thank you very much for your story and sharing it with me. If you have any questions feel free to reach out thank you

@iloveliz81 this article sounds exactly like me. I have been on Lyrica for probably three years and I just kept getting worse and worse. I couldn’t get up out of a chair. I couldn’t even think how to get my body up. I staggered when I walked like I was drunk. I was very wobbly always having to grab things or hold on just to walk. I had blurry vision, brain fog, simple words I could not remember I have always been really sharp with my mind and everything and everything was going wrong. I’ve had a lot of trouble with my lower back. I have one knee that’s been replaced and it hurt me so bad. I couldn’t even walk on it and now that I’m off the Lyrica I am feeling sharp again with my mind. I also quit staggering, and I am not wobbling. Praise the Lord. I’m not having any blurred vision. My back feels better. I’m having no pain. I was having so much pain from my head to my toes.
Your I could have wrote it word war word. Now I did not have a lot of trouble with constipation. I had a gastric bypass about 26 years ago and a lot of times I have loose stools and I’m used to that. I looked it up on the Internet to see if Lyrica could make me drunk and dizzy and have trouble walking.
And I could not believe my eyes, but I read everything I quit it the next day and I have been off of it probably a week and I am feeling so good. I feel like I am 10 years younger and it’s only been a week. I highly recommend to get off of the Lyrica. I quit it all at one time, but I knew there might be side effects cause it says to have your doctor to lower your doses till you get off. But what I did is, I opened up the capsule like two days later and sprinkled a tiny bit of it in some applesauce which you can use pudding cottage cheese anything I didn’t want to take a lot. I just wanted enough that I didn’t feel like I would have side effects and it did great if you have any questions or wanna talk about anything feel free to contact me. Thank you for your comments.

I’ve always had constipation probs but my friend turned me on to Magnesium oxide 400 mg daily.
I have been having regular bms daily since I’m taking the Magnesium Oxide.
It also works without the cramps
