I still stare at the full bottle of Lyrica a doctor prescribed for me over a year ago, to add to the Gabapentin I’d been taking for 4 years. I didn’t ask for new medication and honestly couldn’t recall why he suddenly wanted to add it. I wasn’t sure what he thought it would improve for me, and I was alarmed at the side effects, especially the one about unsteadiness as you mentioned. I was already unsteady and afraid of falls, so why on earth would I want to add to my risk of falling and handicapping myself more? I’m sure it helps many people with different circumstances, but for me, I wasn’t given any explanation of any benefit I would be given from Lyrica, and it would have needed to be a huge benefit for me to be able to agree to increase my fall risk or endure any of the other side effects. If Gabapentin stops working for me, then maybe I’d consider replacing it with something else, but I’m trying to decrease, not increase, my prescription drugs.
