Has anyone been on or tried Lyrica for their fibro? My sister-in-law is taking it and she feels a whole lot better, The only thing I'm concerned about trying it again is that when I was in the hospital, they gave it to me and my BP crashed. Had anyone used Lyrica and did you like it, what are the side effects. Thanks!

Yeah I was on it for six months and gained 100 lbs it was terrible I melted eating my brain never shut off I had a terrible experience I think the drug is a joke for fibromyalgia I think you are the first person I heard say that it helped I hate that commercial they have for fibromyalgia and lyrical I still have fourth lbs to take off and it's really really hard for a fibromyalgia patients to lose weight seeing I was fourth lbs already over weight and so mad at my doctor because I kept complaining about the weight and she said nothing until I finally said no more geez doctors!!!!
I'm on Lyrica and it has helped me. I personally don't have any side effects. I've been on it for a few years and feel as though it has helped. I take 150 mg twice a day
I take lyrica, I did put on about 10lb in the 1st week because I didn't feel full up so kept eating. I have been on them for 4 years now and don't have any side effects and my weight is back to normal. They are great for me
I have tried it and I don't like how I feel. I stop taking it.
