Lyrica Lawsuit (Page 69)

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

REPORT

Miranda,

I too take a small dose and decided to stop taking. I suffered too from what can only be described as a seizure/stroke (I'm due to have an MRI scan).

I am now constantly confused and finding that I'm mixing words both written and verbally.

Doctors all seem to think that Lyrica is some sort of "wonder-drug." Pharmacist told me recently he has "no worries at all" and I got my months supply.

Not happy but don't want to come off again!

Even a small amount can affect your memory. The doctors got kickbacks from the drug firm by giving the drug Lyrica glowing reports. They seemed to prescribe it for every ache and pain. The doctors are treating it like the new aspirin of the 21st. century. Lyrica works by disrupting the synapses between nerves in the brain; however, besides doing that it also destroys the connection between the nerves and if you are lucky, you'll only end up a babbling i****, which may stay or decrease; but you will always have some type of brain dysfunction, some short term memory loss (always carry a notebook and pen to write important things down especially doctor appointments). You may also experience the other effects. I seemed to have developed a weight gain. Over the years I have gone from 120 pounds to 185 pounds and I don't eat much but I make sure it is a balanced meal. My elder son is going for his Master's in dietary nutrition and he has been telling me what I should or shouldn't be eating. But I'm getting off the subject. Lyrica is a vile and destructive drug that never should have been approved. Tylenol, aspirin, antibiotics and other drugs like diabetic side effects but not like Lyrica. I wish we could call attention to the harmful side effects of Lyrica.

Hi I'm in England and I am desperate..I just found this site and I am a mess on pregabalin. My memory is shot. I can't find the words. I've been using it for 5 years. Please help me. No doctor will say it is the drug. I'm anxious all the time and can't cope.

Anxiety is another one of Lyricas biggest horror side effects that never goes away , my son had his last dose nearly 6 years ago , is now 23 years of age and nothing will treat his anxiety , it is a life wrecker .

I have been using Lyrica @ 100mg three times a day for over a year for fibromyalgia and neuropathy. At first, it seemed to help but now doesn't seem near as effective. Pain relief is only effective for 4-6 hours. About nine months ago, I started to notice problems with my teeth. They hurt all the time! I have needed three root canals and numerous fillings. Also, I noticed a strange pain in my right eyeball. I have trouble with my thinking and memory lapses. These are all new symptoms, since I started Lyrica. I feel hopeless! I shouldn't have to choose between pain relief, dental bills and med side effects!

I too have had problems with my teeth. I lost 4 teeth in a 2yr period. My aunt also took the drug and she now has NO enamel I her teeth. The teeth are grey in color and jagged because they are literally breaking off.
Lyrica helped me lose 2yrs of my life and caused more long lasting problems than it solved. I've posted here a few times but you finally gelled me back up my claim of dental issues. I recently spent16K to give me enough teeth on to to actually chew. Good luck!

Hi Robbie , from my sons experience , anxiety caused by Lyrica does not seem to respond to conventional medication for anxiety /depression at any dose high or low , has your memory improved at all since you stopped taking Lyrica ?..

Another thing .I have actually developed a bad anxiety problem since I have been on the drug .I used to worry a bit but now I find even waiting for a phone call makes me not cope and anticipation of it wrecks my day it's ridiculous to me that I feel like this now
My friend has been prescribed it for restless legs .and I have told her please don't take it but she isn't listening at the moment .it really is a terrible drug .I'm so sorry about your son .

I was on Lyrica for about 3 years. It has left me with permanent pain in my hands and the tops of my feet,, spine pain, swelling in my feet and hands, memory loss, and suicidal thoughts. I was able to work my self off of it. Although I am no longer on it the side effects persist.

Robbie , your Doctor is slowly killing you and he thinks he is doing you good , you will certainly have a central nervous system disorder once Lyrica has finished with you among st an array of other problems Lyrica is likely to cause you .,

From what I have come up with, the makers of Lyrica know about all the side effects and have listed them. We don't have leg to stand on as for getting a lawsuit against the makers of Lyrica. But if anyone that knows of a law firm that will take it please let us know.

I used Medical Marijuana to get off of lyrica. The cost was was a lot but my health is much better in alot of ways. I don't recommend coming off of it that way. I feel that I will always have lasting effects from lyrica but the MFG and the Doctor that put me on it will never get any more of my time or money ever again.
