Lyrica causing pain & body aches

I am having muscle stiffness and pain all along my waistline in my back. I am on Lyrica 50mg in the morning and 75 at night. It feels like a pulled muscle from lifting something too heavy but I have not lifted anything. I am very careful not to do that. I looked up some information about Lyrica and it stated that it can cause some serious muscle pain and problems and stated that if this happens to call your doctor. If this is still going on Monday I will be calling my doctor.

@note8book I am 83 years old and was on the same dose that you are and the Lyrica had the same effects on my muscles and there were times that I felt as if I would just pass out. I took it for 7 months and the side effects were horrible. I am on the last day of weaning off it. It has taken 12 days to wean off by slowly lowering the dose a little at a time. I would not recommend anyone to take this horrible drug because of the side effects. It makes you drowesy ,constipated,dizzy,blurred vision,irritates your stomach and colon and makes your hair fall out. I was so drowesy that I could hardly function all day long.
