I am glad it controlled the seizure activity, or appeared to. It is clear though that it causes some other issue.

It is hard to predict whether Lyrica will cause the same reaction, even if it is a very similar medication. It may. It might be worth trying but your doctor will have to decide if that is safe for you.


Welcome, and good luck!
