Who's Is Or Was On Lyrica
UpdatedI have been suffering from pain in my legs for yrs, and now it's pretty much all over. It ranges from a dull ache in my bones, sore achy muscles, feeling of something poking or biting me in various places just out of the blue.
My doc had me in pain management, but the pm doc gave up and sent me to a rhumy doc.On pain management I was on Norco which did wonders, but they don't want me on them so tried all sorts of stuff that gave no relief...the rhumy doc says no Lupus or arthritis so gave me Savella..by day 3 I was so very sick (like a bad flu). so she stopped that and gave me Lyrica...no side effects until the middle of my 2nd day and I started coughing a lot..and it has moved down into my chest with plenty of mucus..I am thinking it's the Lyrica causing the cough after reading some comments on here. I am now on day 4 and am thinking of stopping it too. I don't know why the dr's will not just give me the Norco which work great for me with no side effects. Crazy!

The general reluctance to prescribe the Norco is due to the fact that it contains Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone, and the latter is a narcotic, which can be habit forming and addictive. Thus, most doctors will try to avoid prescribing it for long-term use, if possible.

Have you talked to your doctor about the coughing with the Lyrica, yet?
yes i talked to her and the side effects got even worse..my bottom front teeth have been aching and I was in a daze all the time..so I stopped taking it.
