Yes, I don't think I could function, literally, if not for the Lyrica. I know I cannot lose weight, have cognitive problems and memory issues, but I do not know if the last two are from the fibro or the medication.
hello all, Lyrica was the best medication I had for fibromyalgia until it started making me feel suicidal. it was putting thoughts in my head to harm myself. I asked around and friends of mine said It made them do the same thing. it absolutely took all of my pain away. it also made me sleepy.
I take low dose of Lyrica 150mg a day twice I find I still have my good and bad days but it's better than without it my visions blurred sometimes tho so going back to gp next week To see if they can give me more advise and Iv been referred to pain clinic and sleep clinic x
Im not in as much pain as I was in when I wasnt taking Lyrica... I can get out of bed...
I noticed a big change when the dr added cymbalta. I could get out of bed more often and my mood improved.
