I've been on it for almost.... wow... almost 3 years.
I gained weight but can't/won't say it was directly related to Lyrica alone.
Also... it took me longer than a week to know if it was working or not... I take it for RSD. No Fibro, No Diabetic Neuropathy....
Also you can't take it off an on.... you have to take it consistently and not stop suddenly.

Hi,
Thanks for answering...does it make you feel bad? Does it make you feel high? Does it make you sleep? I don't want my personality to change on a drug, and I hate taking any drug...esp one I'll become addicted too. Do you know why its addicting? Does it make you HAPPY
is that why its addicting? I know I'm full of questions today, but I take seriousely any new drugs I introduce into my body, esp without a dx...
I may be over reacting....because I feel like my pain is centralized in my low back with pins/needles in hands/feet....I'm confused how these few sx become a Fibro thing? I know you may not know, but does someone?
Sorry I'm asking so many questions...and I'm going to the doctors...I'm just exhausted, confused, torn and suspicious
of a doctor just throwing drugs at me without a REASON.....I know Lyrica is for other things besides Fibro...but the list is pretty small and I'm not Diabetic....
Can anyone talk about Neuropathy?
