I was on Lyrica for about 10 days last year. Nasty nasty nasty nasty nasty nasty nasty nasty stuff!! (did I mention that it was nasty?)

My feet, legs and hands swelled up like crazy, and I was so stoned from it all the time, and it wasnt even a huge dose. (neuro gave me sample bottles...whatever dosage that was)

Because of the swelling in pretty much my entire body, my regular doctor sent me to get an echocardiogram to make sure the stuff didnt hurt my heart. (it might have...cant remember what it was called, but they found something weird there...)

I quit Lyrica cold turkey. That was not a fun week or three. Sucked actually.

So, I cant take Lyrica or Neurontin (both are similar drugs) they both make my body swell up like crazy. Plus, I read that it was dental destructive. I like my teeth the way they are. Another good reason to not take it.
