I took Lyrica for a short time. My dr. gave me a sample bottle, but when it was time to refill the insurance wouldn't pay for it. I loved it. For the short time I was on it I had no pain and no side affects. Everyone is different. It might work wonders for you.
I have noticed i feel hungry all the time but then i have made a real concious effort not to eat too much.
I have had alot of headaches since taking these too and constantly feel like i have a dry mouth and often wake up with a sore throat.
I am gonna try and stick with it and see what diff pain meds do in conjunction with it.
Its much easier in the UK for me as i get this on prescription and it doesnt cost me a penny so its of no waste to me to stick with it
But for some people, I hear that it works WONDERS. I honestly think it's a miracle drug for FM, but just like anything else, some people have side effects and can't take it. I'm one of the 1% who gain weight from it. Not everyone does.
You should at least give it a shot. You might get your pain down so much, you actually remember who the real you is! But you'll never know if you don't give it a try.
