A Year Of Hell From Lyrica
UpdatedHi. I've been on lyrica for about a year. I started having zaps in my head, dizzy spells, blacking out, pressure in head, buzzing in my ear, memory loss, loss of balance and more. I've had many tests, ct, mri, eeg, 2x spinal taps. I thought I had ms and have been so scared not knowing what's wrong. In july I got into a bad accident and took out a telephone poll in my jetta. By the grace of god I survived with minor injury. It cut through the engine and stopped at my windshield. My symptoms have been getting worse. A few weeks ago I fell asleep, well passed out and my daughter couldn't wake me up, slapping me and I still didn't move. My balance and loss of memory is severe. My neuro dr has checked me for seizures although I found out it's actually a seizure medicine, this med I have been taking for the last year. After many drs tests they never said maybe it's the lyrica. I've been scared for my life. I have been in chronic pain for 30 yrs with ddd, fibromyalgia, nerve damage and much more. I've stopped taking it about 8 days ago and have about 5 (spells). I have been taking 300 mg of neurontin which I was on for many years and yesterday had no episodes, feel more clear headed and hopefully I will not have any more. It's so sad that all the money spent for tests has been wasted and it's truly been hell for me. I'm from mass and want to know if there's any lawyers that take these cases or if there's any legal suit going on. I need info please. Also I heard about many ppl going through severe withdrawal; maybe try a little neurontin. Ask ur dr. It may help. I'm not having any. My prayers are with you all. Stay blessed.
