@albeit....Lyrica is well known to have some nasty and sometimes frightening side effects. Read up and weigh the cost of using this med. Many have found relief in it. Others have suffered mental fog, falls, lost time....a measure of time they cannot account for. Trouble finding correct words when speaking, rapid weight gain.

Some have few side effects and a fair amount of relief. Wanted to share my experience, not to frighten you, but so that if you run onto testimonials such as mine, you'll know it really does happen. I had a few episodes of feeling completely confused. One night I went out to get my dog. Later found myself in bed with tremendous pain in my face and one eye. I was confused and actually scared because I hadn't a clue what happened or how I got in my bed. I got up to see why my face hurt so much and one side was swollen, my eye was black and blue and there was abrasion evident. Husband asked what happened and I was drawing a complete blank. No memory that night. Still no memory. No clue. This has happened to others. Prior to Lyrica, I had never passed out, fainted, or lost time. Doctor took me off my relatively low dose. Some side effects doctors say can't be related, but reading up, I've found it very well could be. Too many people reporting many similar experiences for it NOT to have been Lyrica. Another side effect you'll find people talking about is teeth snapping off. Rotting from inside out. I've read many accounts of people with healthy teeth having lost several within 6-12 months of use.

For every bad review I read, I've read many good reviews. No one knows beforehand how their body will respond. Just a few things to consider. Oh, those that reported the terrible side effects admit that Lyrica was actually great for nerve pain. Me, not so much, but many do get significant relief. Blessings.
