Lyrica (pregabalin): I had a severe reaction to taking Lyrica. I gained 40 lbs in 2 months, and had such severe swelling in my legs.

Lyrica (pregabalin): I'm 20 with RSD Lyrica was the 1st nerve medicine they attempted to use on me. I had a really bad reaction and after 3 days of taking the medicine I had incontinence. Not fun when your just trying to be a normal college student.

Lyrica (pregabalin): Side effects are a bit annoying sometimes, but it's working for me so I'll put up with it. A side note- I'm taking this in addition to Wellbutrin and Cymbalta. All for my RSD... I have only had intermittent pain and it was extremely mild in comparison to before this combination.

Lyrica (pregabalin): Controls a major percentage of the burning and stinging.

Lyrica (pregabalin): I was prescribed Lyrica in conjunction with Nortriptyline for RSD pain. It has proven to be a miracle worker over Neurontin/Gabapentin. Although both make me very sleepy and tired, Lyrica actually put a dent in the level of pain. While on Neurontin I was at a constant 7-10/10, Lyrica has brought it to (rarely) 0 and at most (during flareups, etc.) 6.

Lyrica (pregabalin): Lyrica was the first medication that helped with the nerve pains. It calmed down some of the burning in my toes, especially. It also gave me some hope in addition to pain relief.

Lyrica (pregabalin): I have full body RSD. Lyrica brings down the burning and helps with the pain especially in my face and upper body. I also have to take Cymblata and tramadol with morphine but like I said I have full body RSD. Only side effect is my vision and I feel like I'm high but the benefits outweigh the side affects

Lyrica (pregabalin): Side effects were debilitating, headaches, nausea. Did not experience much in the way of pain relief.
