Has anyone tried lyrica & what kind of side effects did you have. My dr. wants me to go on it but i don't want to bc i heard too many bad things about it. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I took Lyrica but never again. I had the usual side effects for seizure meds. This was just after it hit the market in the early 80’s. One morning I was getting ready to get out of bed and my right arm was paralyzed I contacted the FDA. One day in my doctors waiting room someone was talking about Lyrica and eventually more and more and more people joined in the conversation. Everyone was complaining about it. I know a lady with fibromyalgia who swears by the drug.
Take care,
Jake

@tigreyes2004, I tried Lyrica many years ago. I could not tolerate it because it made me dizzy and I had to hold onto something to make my way around the house. I don't know why your doctor prescribed this, i.e., I do not know your health condition. This must work for some, but it was not for me! Best wishes, @joybringer1
