Wow. I knew Lyrica had downsides, but I had no clue it was that bad. When I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia over the summer, I asked my rhuematologist what I could do for the pain. He told me there was nothing. I could either fight through the pain and have a life, or lay in bed and have no life. I was curious about Lyrica and when I asked he told me I would end up with more side effects than relief. I still don't care for the first half of his answer, but I'm definitely glad he didn't put me on Lyrica.
