The only problem I had with lyrica was it stopped working. At too high a dose, I did have very minor swelling.

I only ever have had suicidal thoughts on ADs and verapamil. I cannot take any ADs except elavil, which is NOT an SSRI.

And my docs have prescribed several ADs for my pain, which is how I found out (the hard way).

Oddly, neurontin was one I could not take - go figure, it is very similar to lyrica but I reponded so differently to the two meds.

Still, I can believe any med could have that effect on a person.
