I take the max of Lyrica-600mg/day, and have been taking it for over 3 years.
Although I have had tooth/periodontal problems lately, I had periodontal problems 15 years ago, 10 years ago and 6 years ago.
The relationship between tooth loss and Lyrica has not been proven,
to my satisfaction.
Almost all the evidence is anecdotal. I cannot find any factual material that meets my criteria to definitively say that there is a link. My periodontist cannot either, and he takes Lyrica for Fibro.
I feel that there are individuals who have personal vendettas and are willing to make the drug the scapegoat.
As long as it controls my PN problems, I'm not willing to write Lyrica off
with this as a side effect, or cause of my dental problems.
