Hi canadian88,
I felt the same way on Lyrica, only I would describe it as being more "stoned" than anything else. Unpleasant indeed !!
Like Laurie said, you may be experiencing some serious side effects.
You may find that after a few weeks these side effects will disappear as you adjust to the medication.
Best wishes to you!

Sweetlemon,how do yo know what stoned feels like? haha I take Lyrica too, but started at 75mg fo a day a week then 2 a day a week , now 3 a day for a week. I get some blurry vision, & my doc says to drop a pill for a while to see if that helps & it did. After a while I added it back because it helps my fibromyalgia pain so much. Just my thoughts...

Welcome to Lyrica. It has so many side effects! You have to weigh the bad with the good - see if the side effects are worth it. This medication actually scrambles the nerve signals in your brain - for me, it helps, but just barely and at the lowest dose I can tolerate. Your body will adapt to some of the side effects.

with you heart if this continues to be bothersome or you continue not feeling like yourself once you have given this enough time then better safe than sorry far better to let the doctor know just how you feel and then he then can tell you if you can continue on this safely or he may suggest an adjustment in your dose or change in your medication. If I am on a medication and I have given it time for my body to adjust and I just don't feel like myself then I feel like it's time for me to consult my doctor, I wish you the very best of luck and hope these side effects subside take care
