Neuropathic Pain
"Lyrica works.  Unfortunately, I am on the verge of discontinuing use because of significant side effects.  The most troubling for me are the eye disorders (conjunctivitis and blurred vision), and the dementia.  I am 53 years old and I have trouble remembering elementary words! It&#039;s very embarrassing. I also have a significant taste disorder... many things taste like &quot;burnt garlic&quot; to me... that&#039;s the best way I can describe it.  Finally, I have facial bloating, weight gain, and dizziness. I have been on the maximum dose of Lyrica for chronic pain due to degenerative disc disease in my neck. I was willing to endure the weight and dizziness, but the eye, memory and taste problems are intolerable. Too bad, because Lyrica really helps pain."
