i know many of you have not done well on lyrics, but my doctor wanted me to try it. Has anyone had luck with it? Feeling very apprehensive. Thank you!!
I went on Lyrica for 8 weeks. I noticed weight gain, and stomach pain. It turned out, I needed my Gallbladder removed.
But, I blamed Lyrica for the weight gain. and I have this freaky phobia to taking medications that cause weight gain. I rather be skinny and in pain, then fat and comfortable. Yes, I am being treated for mental issues.
I was also on Cymbalta for two years for depression. It slowly changed my personality, and made me mean.
Last year, I tried Savella, lasted 9 days before I got extremely ill, and went to the ER. I was sick for 2 weeks.
I didn't do well with Fibro meds.
That's my story!
