For Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy "Nightmare med. Doesn’t work on pain. So many horrid side effects: suicidal, vivid nightmares each time you sleep, makes you very sleepy, sleep nearly 24/7, makes you feel awful, doesn’t help at all with pain, fast and huge weight gain, hair fell out in clumps, makes you angry and changes your personality negatively."

For Pain "I really didn't notice much difference after 6 months on Lyrica - still had minor headaches, but apparently, swelling went down (MRI). I did notice the sleepiness at first, followed by insomnia and 30 lbs weight gain in that 6 months and swollen fingers and belly area."
