Side Effects of Lyrica? Posted: 02-23-08 17:30pm
I've taken Lyrica 3 weeks and don't notice
any real change. Is it supposed to act
quickly or take a while to get in your
system?
Anyway, I'm sitting here right now having
heart palpatations and have had them for
several days. I hate to go to docs with
this symptom because they always say it's
stress. Right now I'm not having anxiety
or stress of any kind. Just sitting here
with my dog and hubby not worrying about a
thing.
If you've had side-effects please let me
know.
Thanks.

I wasn't going to take it but I kept
feeling worse and worse. I see a
neurologist for the first time in a couple
of weeks and I wonder if he'll say I even
have fibro. From seeing people's posts
here all I have in common is the sore
spots, my other symptoms seem different.

huh well I hope that you get a definite
diagnosis. I know that sometimes it takes
a while to get a real and true diagnosis.
which really stinks. It stinks cause
rather tahn getting treatment underway you
have to struggle with the pain while they
try to figure it out.
hang in there. you know where to find me
if you need me

i wonder---how bout asking your doctor to
get you off it and see if the symptoms
that you have while taking lyrica let up?
i think its worth a try. no sense in
taking someting that is makin you feel
worse

I went off of it on my own. I've got
some other health things going on and have
started to work with a neurologist.
Perhaps he can come up with an answer that
doesn't include fibro, which I'm not
positive I have anyway because my symptoms
don't match up to what most of the posters
talk about.
