I know the blurry vision was mentioned, weight gain, 1 or 2 thought their blood sugar was affected by it.{ they had no problems with blood sugar # before and even after quitting the Lyrica it was an issue} |
I talked to the pharmacist about the weight gain issue. He said that when people suffer from pain, they tend not to eat. When the pain subsides, they regain their appetite. That is usually the reason for the weight gain.
I did some research about this drug a month or so ago when they tried to put me on it but the clinical trial doc said no. Now he has changed his mind and said yes.
I am such a lightweight when it comes to any meds that cause drowsiness that I hesitate to take them at all during the day. This one really knocked me out last night. I cannot imagine taking it during the day. Within an hour I was seeing double...not just blurry. Maybe it's because I have a cold, I am more sensitive so I will give it time once I am over this cold.
