Gdadnoni,
I took lyrica for only 3 months. I was very sleepy but the more severe side effect was the weight gain. I had to stop it but I did feel it helped with some of the RSD symtoms.
Please seek some help if you feel you are threatened by your husband. Some medications can really effect some people in very dangerous ways.
