Hello everyone out there living with chronic pain. I have been living with chronic pain since 2003 when I was involved in an mva. I have nerve damage in my left leg from the hip down and in the right leg from the knee down. I also have fibromyalgia which developed from the chronic pain so I know how a lot of you out there feel. If you need someone to talk to email me. I understand exactly what you are going through! Best of wishes.

Hello Cindi and Others, I asked this question before, but noone answered me. I will try again. Have any of you tried or are now on Lyrica? My Dr. put me on it even tho I don't have fibromyalgia. I have had a very badly failed back surgery. He thought Lyrica might help. NOT!
If you ever have occasion to read through their side effects or even just listen to what they say about their own aide. Well of all the side effects I probably have all of thm and thern some. Now I can not get off them.
Dr. had it all figured ooooout for me how to go off slowly. When I got down to the last couple days with very little left in my system I almost comitted suicide. I am not kidding you. I had deep depression, over whelming feeling to end it all, crying hyestericaly. I wish I could explain this better. Long story short; I would have to go back on them immediately. After trying this twice, I gave up. Can anybody HELP me??????????
hi, am so sorry abo all that you are going thru, w/ this ( i think ) awful drug...i also was prescribed lyrica...the LEAST of my side eefects were MAJOR wieght gain...which in itself is depressing ( i just got down to my normal wieght after slowlyy coming off cymbalta..another AWFUL drug..i think)...i also had suicidal thoughts, a very, very terrible side effect...you must go speak w/ a counselour..or if you think talking to me, will help..i am here to help you...but KEEP in touch!!!!...when you are feeling suicidal, PLEASE write ...or as i said PLEASE try and get in touch w/ a counselor...i don't know what other kind of medication, they can put you on besiides lyrica...but THERE has to be something else, you cannot have these kinds of side effeects!!..write to me, when and if you want...please take good care!!!...cindi
Thank you for your reply. I am also om MorphineER and Norco. Have not seen any side effects with either of those. I have a physciatrist(m.s) who handles some of my meds. right now as on effexorER for depression and need something else because it's not working any more. Have an app't. next weeks about that. So much going on with the news that I likely have MS and am scared to death about that too. When it rains, it pours.
