Megs, yes,yes,yes. I had the same experiance when I was put on lryica.
Almost like you could not get the words out or think of the way to word something you wanted to say. Took forever for me to spit some comment out to the point it drove my husband crazy. My vision, speech & a couple other areas were effected by Lyrica.
Finally the Rehab. doctor I was being seen by at the time said to stop taking it that I should not be having all those side effects after being on in the length of time I was on it. I could never manage to up it or I would get really bad & fall asleep at the drop of a hat. I was happy to stop taking it & so was my husband he was frustrated at my ability to communicate. I cant even remember if it helped, I dont think so.
I found others who reported the same & we all just thought we were loosing it,lol.
Good luck I hope something comes up for you & god bless, Sammy
