So very sad, and lyrica is very expensive.
My doctor told me that traditional pain medicines do not work for Fibromyalgia too.
I had side effects as well. I was dizzy,had headaches, slept WAY too much, felt like I was drunk and had huge mood swings along with angry outbursts over nothing. I'm generally pretty calm.. I really feel that this drug wasn't researched enough for side effects.
Im not sure how I feel about it being banned. I think it helps many people but only short-term. I dont think it should be used for long term treatment of FM.
I think the FDA was completely irresponsible in approving this poison but that said, what about those who are hooked - trying to get off but unable to tolerate the withdrawal???
They know FM'ers suffer differently from pain; didn't they stop, for one minute, to think about how FM'ers would handle the withdrawal?
Isn't this just friggin' typical?
