But this side effect is not commonly found on Patientsville.com
The ones I saw on Peoples' Pharmacy were ANGRY and severely affected though.
Nothing on PubMed either.
Not many people on askapatient.com either.
Perhaps there is some connection to only certain people?
Some other common factor that happens when Lyrica is present?
Perhaps we will see others from Google coming to this thread!
It is a horrible thing to deal with..loss of teeth like that!

Thank you so much for doing your research! After my bad experience, I have been all over the Internet and have found that Pfizer released this drug, using the general population as the test group.
There is so much information about Lyrica and defective teeth, but you really have to search. Many people never connect the dots and think that their teeth are bad for some other reason.
I have found that when you ask a few questions and find out when they started using Lyrica, a light bulb comes on in their head.
I read about this woman, who was on Lyrica for about nine months and said that there were no signs of damage, until her teeth just started to crack and fall out of her mouth.
That is what my Endodontist said. He called it "Disease X", because the teeth seemed normal, until he started drilling. Then he told me, it was like drilling into an empty eggshell.
It has truly ruined my life. I am in Public Relations and if I show up at a corporate meeting, looking like a Meth-addict, it's not a good thing. I have lost 55 pounds, so that is getting under control, but I still have to spend another 25K to finish the dental restoration.
Thanks again for your concern and your research. If you keep digging, you will see how people blame their dental problems on "other" things, rather than Lyrica.
Take care.
