I was on lyrica for 2 weeks first to "get my brain used to it" according to local neuro.... what a laugh...I couldnt see and multiple multiple vision couldnt even tell which doorway was the real one and swelled up my feel were so big my son's size XL socks would not even go over my feet and I only wear an XS adult sock. They looked like canned hams with pegs in the end of it the swelling went clear up to my knees before my PCP weaned me off it over the 2nd week. I had SOB and was in horrible pain from headaches. to me lyrica has to be the worst side effects with no help at all I have ever experienced
