So far not helping much   11/18/21
Reviewed by:     Location Not Given
The worst side effects I have had are blurry vision, which had already had from diabetes, confusion and edema. Had to take Lasix for the swelling. So far does not help pain or insomnia. Do not need help with weight gain, so worry about that. Wish it worked better for me.

Fibro and Lyrica = Garbage   05/24/15
Reviewed by:     Location Not Given
Ive been on Lyrica aka Pregabalin since Jan 2015 and have yet to find it effective in relieving my fm pain. I also take 20mg oxycontin - and 400mg paracetamol - but here i am at 0.45 unable to lie down in bed to go to sleep because it is simply far too painful to do so. Seriously question the wisdom of taking Lyrica - especially when i discovered the side effects include - that is INCLUDE muscular aches and pains! hello? is it just me who finds this the biggest reason not to take it?

Lyrica helped me more than anything else.   09/13/11
Reviewed by:     United States
Lyrica is the best help I've found for my Fibromyalgia to date. I don't think that I could manage without it. It cut my pain more than half of what it was. It doesn't take it all away, but it's the closest thing I've found. Lyrica and Pain Meds combined haven't given me my former life back, but together, I can at least move around and make it to appointments without being in level 8+ pain.

Not all I hoped it would be.    01/03/11
Reviewed by:     Location Not Given
About the only thing I noticed is that after starting the Lyrica the morning pain and stiffness seemed to improve. I went from taking an hour or more to get going to just a few minutes. HOWEVER, I gained nearly 60lbs in about a four month span with no change in diet. It's also expensive unless you have a good co-pay plan. DA

horrible for me   09/08/10
Reviewed by:     Louisville, Kentucky, USA
I have Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was put on Lyrica and took it for 9 months. In that time frame I gained 60 pounds. I weighed more than I had ever weighed in my life and that is with two full term pregnancies. It made my arthritis worse due to the weight and helped in no way at all with my fibromyalgia.

very helpful   04/11/10
Reviewed by:     Location Not Given
I am currently taking 150 mg/3x a day. I didn't realize how effective Lyrica was until I ran out of it. Without it, I felt pain and tenderness in my knees, elbows, hips. I felt like an old person! With only a night more beofer my perscription came in, however, I still didn't know how well it worked. I popped a couple of Tylenol PMs, expecting a comfortable night of sleep. Wrong--my night was horrible! Every sleeping position seemed to aggravate a different part of my body. I'm really glad I have it but am worried as my pain isn't 100% in check and I'm pretty close to the max (I'm at 450 and max is 600 mg/day). I hope it does not lose effectiveness the longer I take it.
