Lyrica Lawsuit (Page 23)

Updated

Does anyone know if there is an ongoing lawsuit against the company who puts out Lyrica? I am a mess from it. Do we have a leg to stand on when it comes to the side effects they found out from people like us? I am a long termer. I have been taking 900 mg since 2005. Is there anyone representing us? Thank you

Dawn , i feel so sorry for what Lyrica has done to you . Lyrica seems to effect different people in different ways adversely, but in simmilar ways and no one is listening to us .

Maybe if we can get this website to facebook or twitter,about lyrica and it's side effects, we can find more people who are having problems with lyrica and can use this site. Then if we can convince some lawyer to take the case and do a class action suit. More people will be visiting this site. As it is tere are not many of us and if you are like me you just stumbled here.. we have got to get the word out!!

Hello, I have been taking 600 mgs a day since Dec. 2007, Since then I have had 5 teeth pulled and I need another 4 more pulled, sometimes I have to pause to recall the most simple word while taliking with my wife. I have had suicidal thoughts at times. I ran out of Lyrica one time and it was the most terrible 2 days of my life. I haveis nerve damage ( fell off roof ) and without Lyrica, I could not get through the day. So it damned if I do and damned if I don.t. I would certainly been on board with a class action law suit!!! Canada

Your story sounds a lot like mine. I was alpn for 8 years and the other 21 years I was a respiratory therapist. In june of 2007, I was asked to resign or be fired. I had memory losses on lyrica and I was only on it a couple of months. They even demmanded I get a blood alchohol test because lyrica made me look and sound drunk. Even after all these years I still have memory loss. I have left all my licenses expire because no hospital would hire me, even the small ones. They said I was underqulified. I had worked @ a trauma two hospital, in icu, ccu, emergency trauma room, open heart patients, managed ventilators. And I was considered UNDERqualified by hospitals that had the bare minimum. I hope someday you will feel better.

Mary & Everyone- There is a Facebook Page called Lyrica Survivors. Many people there are interested in a lawsuit but it has mainly turned into a support system & way to get the word out about this awful drug.

When I think of years I was on Lyrica, all the depression, suicidal thoughts, so many days of me saying I wish I was dead, saying I hate my life. I have been off Lyrica for a year now and realizing it made my condition worse. I have nerve damage in both hands from carpal tunnel surgery, if it weren't for my four nephews that I was raising in at the time, I would be dead!

I cant imagine all of the people that this drug will affect if we cannot get it off the market! Our children, their children, people that are taking it now… And they don't even realize what it's doing them. When I missed one dose of Lyrica, my hands felt like they were on fire, severe pain… I was in more pain on Lyrica and pain pills than I am now, I take Cymbalta… It helps with nerve pain, that's it. I went to the dentist yesterday and found out I have advanced stages of gum disease, now I am wondering if that has something to do with Lyrica also. I still have memory loss and I've been off this drug for one year!

I see all kinds of drugs on tv that have bad side effects which are still on the market but anyone who had a bad side effect can contact so and so law firm and those drugs are not even as bad as lyrica. They pulled darvocet off the market for lot less side effects. Now all or most of those people are on some kind of narcotic. With lyrica the cure is worst than the bite. Why don't we put everyone who has pain on a narcotic like vicodan or percocet, afterall what is the worst that can happen, addiction overdose or death which with the suicidal side effects lyrica is going to happen eventually. Maybe there is a government quota of deaths before the FDA pays any attention, or maybe they are afraid of losing they payoffs. Lyrica was created to treat fibramalagia, now it is being used as a pain medicine for arthritis to any kind of chronic pain condition. I have basically been out of a job for five years and it is bad. If ihad never been put on lyrica I would still be in medicine. Alas no one seems to care.

Fyi...I took myself off Lyrica 2 weeks ago...I slowly weened myself off. I can already tell the difference. My concentration and all my other side effects have greatly improved. I recommend that if you decide to do this talk to your doctor about how to do it. I feel better everyday. Make sure you keep the rest of your Lyrica as proof you were prescribed it.

Im very confused and a bit nervous. I've been prescribed Lyrica and I have ITP, a blood platlet disorder (currently in remission) I read a side effect of this drup is low platlets. Why would my dr put me on this. And so many other terrible, possible side effects. I was prescribed Lyrica for migraines. Any feedback or help would be appreciated.

YOU are in charge of what you take...ask you doctor why he would prescribe this medication when you have contradictory information. My doctor put me on a medication which I should not have been taking and it caused trouble. Do not hesitate to ask and if you do not feel comfortable with taking it then foind out if there is another medication which will do the same thing for you.
Above all, do not take Lyrica if you do not have to. I have had so much trouble from this medicine I would not wish it on my worst enemy.

Cindy - I was on Lyrica for a couple of years as I posted earlier for a severe spinal injury. My doctors ran so many tests for MS they were convinced I had it and put me through hell. I wish you the best!

Dawn - When I was on Lyrica I had awful nerve pain in my wrists and hands my doctors tried to talk me into carpal tunnel surgery which I refused because I had just been through hell with emergency spinal surgery. I am so glad I did because it would have been unnecessary. The Lyrica was causing the problem I did not have it before taking it and my hands are much better after stopping Lyrica. My hands still twitch and are not back to normal. I was wondering if you had carpal tunnel surgery because of the side effects of lyrica could that be a way to go after the makers of Lyrica. Just a thought !

The federal crooks in charge(lawyers) took a 2.3 billion dollar bribe from Phizer to block and disallow all lawsuits, both criminal and civil against Phizer for this crime. Sadly, this drug is used to treat victims of nerve agent exposure. Which means they are destroying the lives of many veterans with it and gettin away with it. NO lawyers will take the cases due to that. It is a huge crime and the crooks taking the payoff to block our right to make legitimate claims are a huge part of the crime.

PGWAR , my sincere advice is to tell your doctor to take Lyrica himself and also give it to his children , do not touch it , there are other much safer treatments for migraine ...Lyrica for migraine is just stupid and for everything else , this is a very vile and horrible drug .
