personally i like it and it didnt have that effect on me but its a strong med...i would call your doc bout it...

I've also been a lot more depressed since I started taking it.

Have to agree. Lyrica is lousy! I had bad side effects from it too.

Can you take any herbals?
Try Cherry with Tumeric and Acetyl L-Carnitine with alpha lipoic acid.

Those two might help just enough.

i also had very bad side effects from it. they just get you to try it b/c the pharms are pushing it...if it works, good for you...if not, next...

It is just a propritery formulation of another drug that went generic a couple years back. The pharms are pushing it.

I hate it. Worst drug I've ever taken. Not only am I sick, but I'm depressed too. They shouldn't rx this stuff to anyone!

It was the " miracle drug" for me......if you think that's what's making you sick and depressed the you need to speak with your doctor ASAP. They say you should if you have any change in thought oe depression. Hope they find something for you......

The only thing I got from Lyrica was 40 extra pounds in 2 months.

It works great for some and not so great for others.

Just called my doctors office (lord, I only have 7 of them >_

woah, It didn't post everything I typed. Well, I called the doc and left a message up front saying it's made me sick. I was only on it for five days, but that five days was enough for me. I'll stick with my Nucynta and Tramodol for now.

you have to eat somthing mine well make me sick if i dont i take mine with milk. but ther fever migth be somthing somthing else. hugs minnie

I could not move as freely as I do if not for Lyrica. I'm wondering if maybe your doc started it at a higher dose than usual?

I found out how well Lyrica works after I decided to stop taking it due to memory problems. Well, I was writhing on the floor. I began taking it again and it kicked it. I was real good at playing doctor with my medicine. Not so much anymore. The consequences suck, lol!

Shlay, I also take Nucynta, Ultram and Toradol nasal spray for B/T pain. As with any medicine, it's all about measuring benefits vs risk for me. I'm so sorry the Lyrica didn't work for you. I hope you find something that does. (((Hugs))), Dianna

Hi Shlay,
Lyrica seems to be one of those drugs that works great with some people, and causes so many problems for others.
I happen to be one of those people who Lyrica works for them.
I don't know if your vomiting and fever are caused by Lyrica. Don't stop taking it abruptly as you will go through withdrawal. (I ran out once and didn't have it for a day and a half and went through withdrawal).

Maybe another drug would be more helpful and cause less problems.
I do know that increased depression is one of the side effects listed for lyrica. Maybe you should start on an antidepressant if you're not on one, or add something like Abilify to your current antidepressant.

Best of luck,,
Sandy

I hallucinated on it and had some really wild dreams!

yup lyrica sucks.
