Has anyone who takes Lyrica had any of the following symptoms: muscle weakness in legs, balance problems, numbness (mostly in hands but sometimes in face and tongue), slight tremor in finger, cognitive issues? I just had brain and spinal cord MRIs to rule out MS, and I see a neurologist tomorrow. My rheumy told me the Lyrica could be causing the side effects. I've been on 150 mg for about 6 months. Thank you.

Hi. About the Lyrica it made my dead and hands tingle. I couldn't concentrate. I would lose my balance too. I take Savella and have no nasty side affects. My pain management dr said it was a new drug for fibromyalgia. It works great. If you are experiencing all that maybe you should try Savella. I hope you feel better soon.🌹
Hi there Sirena yes my hands have the tremors and yes I am loosing my balance and I am having left side numbness in my face and left arm and leg and foot. I just got over pneumonia and Bronchitis and Asma I was off 3 weeks from work. Well going to Doctors again and I will ask her about Savella thank allot Sirena.
No known problems for me with Lyrica (except weight gain) - but mycancer is taking care of that. :-/
