Now, more than four months later, I am still having difficulty breathing and coughing. I am working with a pulmonolgist to find out what's going on. Has anyone else experienced lung problems as a result of taking Lyrica?

I was on 150mg 2 x daily for a couple weeks and jsut couldn;t stand it anymore. I couldn't take deep breaths adn was out of breath all the time and the cdoctor told me to stop but I am still having the trouble. Although I take deep breaths I still can't breath correct and get out of breath. I can't even eat with out panting and becoming breathless. He put me on pednisone and it aggravated the breathing problem so I had to stop it.
I am going to see my family doctor and see if he can tell me why this is happening and if my lungs are preminitly damaged or what.
