Are you sure you want to take this drug? I was on it for six years and stopped it because I’ve lost a total of eight teeth while on it! The withdrawal from it is worse then a heroine addicts withdrawal. Please look at all information before you begin this drug. It’s put me through a life of hell coming off it

@cdcc , I’m sorry you had such difficulties with Lyrica. I guess we all react differently to medications. I’ve been taking Lyrica for two years. When I was taking 300 mg a day, my left ankle swelled up. I also encountered brain fog. I wondered how much Lyrica was helping with my pain so I tapered off of it. Fortunately, I didn’t have too much a problem doing that. I stopped taking it for about a week, but I realized that it took the edge off of my nerve pain. My pain was noticeably worse. I slowly restarted taking Lyrica, but this time I only worked up to 150 mg a day. At this dosage I really don’t have any problems with it.
Like everyone else I’m sure, I wish I didn’t have to take any meds. Prior to two years ago I didn’t take any medication. Unfortunately, that has changed. I try to take as little meds as possible, eat healthy, and exercise as much as I’m able. And hope for a better tomorrow, one with less pain!
Thinking of you, @cdcc.

What are the benefits of Lyrica? Why is it prescribed to so many people if it causes so many problems?
