Lyrica causing pain & body aches

I've used Lyrica for a number of years an have had no problems

Yesssss!!! I feel so much validation right now. I feel like it hurts to lift my legs and get up from sitting. Way more than the inflammation relief I get. It’s awful.

I have EDS also and noticed this episodically the same way with gabapentin. Well years later my new pain doctor recommended trying lyrics.. At first it was a miracle drug but after a bout of an Accupuncture session gone wrong, the medication wasn’t working so the dosage was increased. I ironically got overwhelmed a misses a few doses of it but this morning decided to take it to get back on the wagon before my pain came back with a fury though I wasn’t in an particular pain.. within an 30 min to an hour the pain came back in my lower back and my quads.

I started taking Lyrica a few months ago and I was taking 75 in the morning and 75 at night and I can’t remember but the doctor I told him I was having some kind of a symptom and he said well maybe cut down to one a day and he said take it at night so I did Well I’ve been hurting. I ate from head to toe. I can’t hardly get up out of a chair off the toilet I’m in pain constantly unless I’m just sitting in the chair not moving then I’m OK. I’ve had real blurry brain fog. I can’t think of words that I normally used to say all the time I feel like I’m just kinda existing. I don’t care whether the house is clean or dirty if anything is picked up, I don’t wanna do anything anymore. I don’t know what to do. I didn’t know that Lyrica could cause this kind of problem now I’m believing that has a lot to do with everything. I’ve been experiencing constipation bloating Trouble, sleeping gas on my stomach lots and lots more side effects. I will be contacting my doctor. Thank you very much for your story and sharing it with me. If you have any questions feel free to reach out thank you

I just found this post. Hoping to hear if you have had any changes and are still using Lyrica. I am currently taking 600mg/day. And yet I have extreme muscle pain - which does away when I am still but makes it difficult for me to stand up and get going without significant pain. Hope to hear more

I just recently started taking Lyrica.
I take 150 mg daily,with no problems.
Don’t know if it’s helping a lot because I still have pins and needles,along with numbness in my feet.
Is it supposed to take these symptoms away?

I’ve always had constipation probs but my friend turned me on to Magnesium oxide 400 mg daily.
I have been having regular bms daily since I’m taking the Magnesium Oxide.
It also works without the cramps

I've had progress PN for about 10 years. Nights are very painful. I have found that Baclofen (muscle relaxer) taken in small amounts... about 3-4 mg tends to reduce pain levels. It takes about an hour. I'm afraid to use it regularly and limit myself to about two times a week. Otherwise, I generally use a magnesium cream to try and temper things. It seems to vary at times. I have found that some essential oils can also help, but I'm still working on an effective formula since I can't find any published research that seems to work regularly. Everyone is so different. Don't give up on looking for something that works for you. PS. I take 75 mg pregabalin in the morning and 150 at night. Good luck in your search.

I take 600 mg of Gabapentin 3 times a day and it helps some. My doctor wants me to take 300 mg 3 times a day and see if that helps more. I tried it and it didn't.
