Lyrica Lawsuit (Page 22)

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

Stephanie, when were you on lyriica. How long were you on it. How long ago did you got off it. Are you still having memory lapses. I was 57 years old. I am now 61. Before lyrica I was a lpn. I transferred into respiratory. I went to oll via correspondence via a college in california. In 1995, after four years I graduated and passed my boards the first time. My memory was excellent. I became an rr with two associate degrees. After being on lyrica my memory was shot. In june of 2007, I was given the choice resign or be fired. My memory was failing me. I chose to resign. Istill havememory problems and I have been off this drug @ least four years. I have trouble getting a job because I have trouble learnig things that I need to remember. My heart goes out to you. I hope you get better.:-)

Yes I have and when I have isolated pain in my feet they work great. However, with nerve damage from peripheral neuropathy the area may be too diverse for them. I tried Lyrica and got off it after two month because of weight gain, brain fog and exhaustion. I feel Lyrica is a bad drug and not worth the gain, if any. It seems only a narcotic like percs help with wide spread pain

Hi Sherry , thank you so much for your reply , LYRICA IS STILL A RELATIVELY NEW drug in the world and untill enough people have suffered with it , i dont think any Lawers will take it on, although i believe there is more than enough evedence now . My sons Doctor just bauked at us and said the Lyrica would have worn off by now as did a Pharmacist friend of mine , this is very fustrating as i know what my son was like before , during and after treatment and i am a very highly analitical type of person and dont jump to conclusions over nothing . This wil be a matter of the right people takeing notice and doing some thing about it and sufferers fighting for every inch gained .Was going to try Lyrica my self for disc damage in my thoracic spine as i to work in hospitals but unfortunatly my son was the first to find out how nasty this drug really is . Bye for now stay in touch ,,Nick

I was on Lyrica 2 different times.
The first time I had other issues going on and did not relate the problems to the Lyrica. I was on it for about 6 months that time. I was off for a period of about 9 months and my physician wanted me to try it again. Being ignorant of the problems associated with it and remembering it did relieve some of the overall pain I had with Fibromyalgia, I tried it again. I was on it for about 18 months. I came off it because of the memory, eyesight, and fatigue problems. I am still suffering from memory problems, eyesight, dizziness, and many other symptoms. It has been about a year since I went off and I still have fatigue and other assorted problems that I did not have previous to taking Lyrica. You could not PAY me to take it again. I hope, no I pray they will stop prescribing this drug. I talked to my doctor about it and was "pooh-poohed" out the door. Time WILL tell and I am afraid too many people will learn about it the hard way. I tell everyone I know to not take it, even on a trial basis.

I went to the left side of this page and told my story to the medicine communiity link. There you can twitter and facebook the effects and dangers of lyrica. You can also leave this web sight so others can read about lyrica. Leave your message on their wall. Maybe we as a group can reach more people and get something going. Next thing you will know is they will take aspirin, tylenol ,, advil or alieve off the market for pain and still leave lyrica on so that they can get their money back in research and development and still make a profit. That is all they care about. They do not care that this drug has ruined many lives. Tell your story. Ask them to come to this site and speak out. We are only a few right now. Contact the news servicers like, NBC, ABC, CBS

I keep reading and reading and readin and I am just hofifued how many of us hae all these side afects and no one will listen. I too sufer from long and short term memory and suisidal thoughts and have at times been on up to 900 mg of lyrica a day, We are the guine pigs for this drug and god knows how many more are being put on it or are on it and dont understand what is happening too them. I am at a loss, I have been trying for years to get a lawyer to even listen, noone will. Its sad and I am sure there is someone out there who has died rom either the effects or the suicidal part of it, we just font know, I as I am sure many of you are on Lyrica surviviors. there are so many of us, so so many vicky

Hi Nick what ever you do please do not do Lyrica! I wish you well and hope we all get the right help with our pain issues. I know I am still experiencing numbness and tingling in both hands. Although the side effects I am having are not as bad as some of the people, it still is not right. I hope we can all ban together and figure this out so something can be done,

The permanent memory problems that Lyrica causes are very similar to certain aspects of aquired brain injury which i am absolutly certain Lyrica causes . It is not in the interests of Doctors , Pharmacists , or the Drug companies to do anything about the claims of sufferers while they are all makeing money .

My husband was on Lyrica for 6 months. He started having leg and muscle cramps and spasms. They were so severe that he would roll around on the floor screaming and crying till it passed. His urine turned brown. I took him to the ER and he was in kidney failure. He has permanent muscle damage now from the Lyrica. His Dr put him on Nurontine (sp)?? Now, he has started back with the severe legs cramps, screaming at 3:00 am and can hardly move his legs. It is awful!! That medicine ruined a large part of his life! I think he will always have those muscle cramps for the rest of his life. It's scary! We talked to a few lawyers but they were not willing to take our case! The company needs to be sued and take Lyrica off the market!

Neurontin is related to lyrica. It is only a molecule in difference! The same drug!!!

I have been taking Lyrica for about a year. I, too, am having thought process problems and memory problems. I thought these issues were just symptoms of MS, which was why I was taking Lyrica in the first place. I also have been dealing with the weight gain and have had heart palpitations. I thought I was taking something that was helping me, now I'm mad as hell to find out that it's all because of the Lyrica. I have enough problems with MS, the last thing I need is a med that causes all of these effects. I am weaning myself off. If anyone finds a lawyer in Texas, count me in.

I have been off of Lyrica since October of 2010 and continue with memory and speech problems. Never had these problems prior to taking the Lyrica and really frustrated in that they continue even after this long a period. I have not posted in a while, but continue to read all of the posts on this topic. There are so many who have been affected by this medication....
