Question Lyrica and hair loss/hair thinning side effect

Hi everyone!

Thank you for all the threads and advice on here. I've been a member for a while though I don't post much.

I've noticed quite a few people talking about Lyrica so would like to know if anyone else has noticed hair loss since being on this drug?

It does make sense that this happens since it slows the metabolism, but I have yet to read much about this being a problem and my doctor doesn't believe that hair loss is one of the side effects.

I take 150mg a day, this is my 4th month on it.
I was suffering from severe facial pain (only on the right side) which would lead to migraine lasting for a few days at a time.

Diagnosed with atypical migraine and trigeminal neuralgia.

Other side effects experienced:
-spaced out, aloof
-memory problems
-weight gain
-halo effect (very strange feeling around the head)
-vision problems (hallucinations out of the corner of my eye)
