User Reviews for Pregabalin

Lyrica (pregabalin): I love the drug but I am experiencing EXCESSIVE Weight Gain. I began the medication in November 2007. To date, I have gained 30 lbs. Some of my now FAT clothes have gotten too tight.:( Has anyone else experienced this problem??

Lyrica (pregabalin): I was have burning pain to my feet, with sharp shooting pains from my toes. Lyrica has completly stopped both kinds of pain. It has also helped with the shart shooting pains in my fingers - arthritis related.

Lyrica (pregabalin): I was prescribed 400mg/day of lyrica for severe peripheral neuropathy of my feet. Prior to Lyrica I was taking 60mg/day of methadone with significant relief but with plenty of room for improvement. With the addition of Lyrica to my Methadone regimen, my relief now stands at approx. 80% analgesia which is a God send considering the severity of my pain. As a welcome side benefit, significant anxiety, hot flushes and insomnia were relieved as well. For me, Lyrica has been something of a miracle drug.

Lyrica (pregabalin): Lyrica stops the pain in the ball of my feet. It's wonderful to be able to walk without the pain. I am diabetic and take insulin. I too have had a weight gain of 35 lbs over the past 6 months. I seem to suffer from a bit more memory loss than before and I fatigue easily. I have caught myself dozing off in front of the computer at work, so I force myself to get up and walk around a bit. All in all a small price to pay for the relief of the pain in my feet.

Lyrica (pregabalin): I was put on 50mg of Lyrica at age 62. Within a week there was noticeable improvement in the amount of burning and tingling in my feet and legs. Within a month the burning and tingling disappeared. At 3 months I had gained 15 pounds at a rate of 5 pounds per month. Most importantly I began to notice I did not care if I lived or died. I stopped taking the drug. I have also experience this with antidepressants. For 6 months after stopping Lyrica I remained relatively free of pain. By 8 months the burning and tingling have returned at their full intensity. I rate the drug a 5, great for pain with serious side effects.

Lyrica (pregabalin): I started using Lyrica six months after it was put on the market and I think it is a miracle drug for those of us who could not sleep or relax in any way due to severe neuropathy. The only side effect I experienced was sleepiness which disappeared after about a week. This is a wonderful, wonderful thing for diabetics with nerve pain. Thank you to the makers!

Lyrica (pregabalin): I have nerve pain from diabetes. I was waking up several times a night with severe pain. Lyrica has allowed me to sleep through the night without interruption. So far no side effects to report.

Lyrica (pregabalin): I am on dialysis and now have neuropathy in my feet. I have tried many things and find Lyrica works but I have to take a low dose, only 75mg a day. I have found that this low dose of Lyrica works well with 10mg of Vicodin. My feet are tolerable and I can function without kicking my feet every millisecond and always thinking of the pain in my feet. This combination works very well and I recommend it to all diabetic/dialysis neuropathic pain patients.

Lyrica (pregabalin): I take a 75 mg dose, and it really makes a difference, I still have an underlying tenderness in the toes and the pads of my feet, but at least I can walk. I am looking for an alternative for it as the cost to me is excessive.

Lyrica (pregabalin): I love this medication!!! With out lyrica i would not be able to walk.Nerve damage from diabetes has taken its toll on my nerves in my feet and legs. My new insurance company is denying my coverage for lyrica.But my drs are trying to keep me on lyrica because i have been i it for so long.Shame on insurance companies who r just trying to save a buck!!! Not fair

Lyrica (pregabalin): I suffered with nerve damage at back of my neck. Lyrica caused me severe memory loss, confusion and depression. It stopped my nerve problem but my good memory has not returned. I also suffer headaches, which I never had before.

Lyrica (pregabalin): Not only do I have diabetic neuropathy, I also have nerve damage on both sides from total loss of L5S1 disc. I could not live without Lyrica. Just don't miss a dose, it's not pleasant. Lyrica doesn't stop it all, but I know how much it does stop and won't ever be without it

Lyrica (pregabalin): Lyrica has its pros and cons like any other medicine in the market. Lyrica has helped me in many ways including neuropathic pain and depression together with other antidepressants. The only side effect that bothers me a little is the fact that I feel tired most of the time but I can still function with a lot of calmness. On the other hand I have tried every single medicine for insomnia during the last 12 years with not so great results until I found this medicine. Now I sleep like a baby at 150mg twice a day.

Lyrica (pregabalin): Started using LYRICA about 6 months ago. It seems to have minimized the toe/foot pain I have when I go to bed. This was keeping me awake with pain and restless legs. Now I can get to sleep easier. Did notice some weight gain... but am working on it. No other side effects noted at this time. Sure has helped me at night!

Lyrica (pregabalin): I am glad that Lyrica has helped many, just did nothing for my nerve pain and tons of side effects.

Lyrica (pregabalin): Lyrica made me a zombie. I could just sit and flip channels on the TV or stare off into space. If it helped the neuropathy I did not notice. Stopped taking it after one week and the Doctor put me back on Neurontin. Neurontin does not help so much with the pain in my feet and legs but at least I can function.

Lyrica (pregabalin): I have been using Lyrica for about 2 months now. I originally quit it because I gained 7 pounds in a week. Stopped taking it. Could not stand the pain in my feet, outer thighs and now along my belt line. I noticed that the weight gain seemed to be from an increased appetite. I have been able to keep the weight off by being very mindful of my hunger, or mindless eating. I am 5'10" 185lbs. Without Lyrica I don't really get hungry. Mind is bigger than the belly when I order food. With Lyrica I find I could eat a horse, and a cow and maybe a squirl as an after dinner snack ..LOL. It makes me lose what ever normal appetite suppresent that I may have. It does wonders for my nerve pain that started 6 months ago and seems to get worse without Lyrica.

Lyrica (pregabalin): I was already overweight and went on Lyrica because of the tingling in my hands and feet being intolerable. Three weeks later, its like I woke up one morning and none of my clothes fit. I got on the scale and from the time my doctor gave me this pill to current and have gained over 25 lbs. It's a shame I have to decide between being obese or able to sleep and be pain free.

Lyrica (pregabalin): It makes my hands shake.

Lyrica (pregabalin): Worked good for first 3 days. Then got severe side effects, breathing problems, vomiting, shaking.

Lyrica (pregabalin): I have been on this medication for 4 years now. There has been a 20 pound weight gain, so far. My GP is always after me about the weight gain however I would rather be fat and happy then suffering from the pain it used to cause. I also take methadone as a pain killer. The sad part to the Lyrica is the price.
