I took one dose of lyrica on a Friday evening for treatment of the pain from fibromyalgia. I woke up Saturday morning, literally singing to myself, "I'm gonna kill myself " in a sing-songy manner. I was not suicidal at the time. I spent the morning writing letters to everyone and made an audio tape explaining the long term pain I've been in and could no longer endure. Nothing could stop me. My mind was racing. Even a phone call from a relative telling me about a cousin's passing, had no effect on me. I swallowed hundreds of pills and began to slit my wrist when I had the urge to urinate. That saved my life, because I last remember sitting on the toilet and saying, "oh God!" before passing out and falling over the bathtub. I was bent over for 8 hours with my head pressed to the bottom of the tub, my knees against the side of the tub and floor, my elbows on the top of the tub. My son became worried because I wasn't answering his calls all day. He came home and found me bent over the tub with my pants down. He thought something evil had happened to me and he went into shock. His wife called 911. My son literally couldn't talk or move. I spent 2 days in critical care before I came to. In the middle of the night, my family doctor woke me up and asked if I knew what was going on. He explained it all to me. What saved me was as I was falling over the tub, I vomited while going down. That reduced the amount of drugs I had taken. I spent 11 days in a psychiatric hospital. The day I returned home, I was watching a commercial about lyrica. It stated that it can cause suicidal thoughts or actions. I searched the internet and discovered you can not take it with 2 of the medications I was on! I took samples of the lyrica before filling the prescription, or else my pharmacy would have noticed the dangers.
I understand you're in palliative care, and I'm deeply sorry for that. I will keep you in my prayers. I wanted to share my experience with people reading your post in order to make them aware of the possible dangers.

God be with you 🙏
