Lyrica side effects with spinal fusion and spondylitis
Hello, I was recently diagnosed with spinal fusion and spondylitis. My doctor prescribed Lyrica 25mg twice a day. However after three weeks I´m having bad side effects, dizziness, dry mouth, and bad headaches. I have no appetite and have to force food down and my back pain is still quite bad. I´m also very depressed. I have an appointment with my doctor to discuss in three days.

I use Lyrica and it makes those uncomfortable things, but it helps with nervepains somehow. I try to use L. as little as possible.
I have used Lyrica off and on for many years. Last year I took it for nerve pain and initially it was okay, but weeks later I went into a deep depression. So I came off of it. You never know how your body will accept it. Before I do anything, tell your Dr about it.
