I had serious effects from lyrica too. I couldn't remember words, I couldn't form complete sentences. I had the other effects as well ; high, lack of concentration, weird feeling like I wasn't present but not being able to complete sentences really freaked me out. It took a couple weeks to even realize it was the lyrica. I thought I had had some mini stroke or something! I only took it a few weeks and after a year, I still think I have residual issues with words and weird feeling.

Also, that dr you went to is ignorant and has no desire to help you. If he doesn't believe in crps, there is no way he can help you.

Good luck. I know the process getting a new dr is difficult but you have to advocate for yourself. No one else will, even if they say it's their job to be your advocate... It's a lie.
