Those meds do have a range of side effects that have created issues for some people that I knew at the high school where I worked. The attendance secretary was prescribed Lyrica (can't recall for what) and she developed such pain in both feet that she could not stand or walk without feeling agony. From what she described, it was neurological in nature, so I urged her to see a neurologist but not to just stop cold turkey. She chose to stop taking the medication and did inform her primary care physician (who had prescribed it) but chose not to see a neurologist. The issues for which she had gone to her PCP in the first place continued, then exacerbated. She said she'd "just deal" because what the medication had done to her was worse than the symptoms...
For anyone who is able to take meds like Lyrica, Cymbalta, Humira, etc., that's great.
I fully acknowledge what I can and cannot do.
