Neuropathic Pain
"I would not recommend Lyrica to anyone.   I had severe neck pain and nerve issues, and prescribed Lyrica, slowly increasing my dosage.   I was up to a total of 300mg twice a day and the medicine had an issue with the Zoloft I was taking causing Serotonin Syndrome.  I didn&#039;t feel a significant change in pain after taking Lyrica for over 3 months.  After I had my neck surgery, I started slowly decreasing my Lyrica.   It has absolutely been the worst medicine to come off of.   Decreasing dosages as small as 25mg impacted my whole life.   I couldn&#039;t stay awake, was in a cloud, felt nauseous and completely un-motivated.  If I ever knew these side effects were a potential I would have never started taking this med.  Advise taking with caution!"
