I only took it for about 4 days because it caused me to be too tired, like drunk tired. Sometimes I didn't even realize I fell asleep until after I woke up. I'm glad I took it on a weekend when I was just home and not at work or going anywhere.
I had to wean myself off of Lyrica because I wanted to hurt someone. I was told to watch for suicidal thoughts but I felt like I had homicidal thoughts. I scared myself. Had a rough time with withdrawal too. My symptoms lasted about 2 weeks. My new Dr. says she would never put a patient on Lyrica because of the side effects.
Lyrica makes me feel very tired and zombie like....helps with pain..but I felt to high....to be able to function
Lyrica was horrible for me. Weight gain, no real pain relief and I seriously considered hurting my husband. I was real moody and mean.
