Get off Lyrica or give up your memory!

Wow! I just started on Lyrica and I'm glad to have come across your question because I now know what else to be alert for. I was like that last year I would be at a store and find myself asking myself how did I get here. I can't remember what meds I was on but I can truly relate to that feeling and I to had to depend on my daughter to drive me every where. It sucks! I hope you get better...

I take lyrica and it worked instantly. Nuerontin didn't work. I also take Norco and a small dose of long acting morphine and that controls my pain (but I've worked up to that).

That's the fibrofog n u cant remember n I have panic n anxiety attacks! I don't drive anymore either except in a ER! Prayers n hugs to you! GABAPENTIN works for men I take CELEXA N LOPRESSER! FOR SLEEP : Melotonine n clonazam! N it barely works but it's better than nothing I was going 2-3 days w/o sleep n that was horrible! Prayers n hugs to you!

Lyrica is likely to make you feel even more confused. I would ask a doctor to look over your case and your medications, in case a reaction to one of them is making you more forgetful. Perhaps a medication could be changed or eliminated for you. Because of your confusion and forgetfulness, it would be better to take you off of medication than to start something else. I am so sorry for what you are going through. I can no longer drive, and need a caregiver also. Prayers and hugs!
