Lyrica gave me dbl vision and blurrie vision was also taking Gabapentin, never had any problems with Gabapentin take 300 three times a day
Lyrica messed me up really bad and made me have a manic episode and not sleep for days and they said it was due to the medication. I know it works for everyone different but be very careful! I didn't take those both at the same time but again be careful maybe get a few more opinions
I was in lyrica like 5yrs ago..it was the best 3 days of my life... after this 3 days doctor took me off because I was the bigger bitch there was.(really BAD side affect..BAD)my kids where complaining ,( asking what is wrong with mommy)work got bad, i was working with kids back then in a school bus company taking the kids to school,wow that was the worse,thanks to my driver he help me. if not I would be in jail now..i was so bad that if you would look at me I want to kill you.. doctor put me on gabapentin I was on this one for 5ms, did NOTHING for me.. I have being in so many meds is not even funny. nothing works for me.. I, working on my story to write everything I was on from day one...so I could maybe help others..i no longer work, it took 3yrs for my disability but it was not giving to me for fibromyalgia,i had to star seeing a physiologic, long story
Well I've read all ur comments n also read comments on the internet. The gabapentin is working I don't want to mess that up. Plus not many ppl have good things to say about lyrica. The only reason I wanted to try it was maybe just maybe I could lose weight. But I think I'll stick with gabapentin. ๐ thank u everyone hope ur day is going well
I also take Lyrica and Gabipentin.
After some trial and error, my doctor has me trying 75mg Lyrica in the morning and 300mg gabipentin at night. It's the strongest I can handle with the fatigue being so severe. I started off with the Lyrica and found by noon my nerves endings were going crazy I couldn't stand it so she suggested gabipentin.
