What were the side effects?. I have heard it does have bad side effects but I don't know what. My dr. mentioned Elavel but I have heard that was a bad one too. I don't know what to do for pain. I have a Medical Marajuana card & that seems to help me the most but it is too expensive but it does take the edge off.

I don't remember what every med I tried, but Lyrica is one that had dramatic side effects. I was incoherent, had some stroke symptoms, tachycardia, memory loss - enough to alarm the ER doctor so they admitted me. The last med I tried was desipramine, and I had to urinate up to 24 times a day - not an acceptable side effect. I started taking imipramine last Sunday, and so far no bad side effects, and it seems to be working on my foot pain. Cross my fingers.
