Default Big Shock to me! Warning re: Lyrica, Neurontin , etc.

I was at my rheumy today and he asked me how I was liking the Lyrica. I told him that I had came off of it after about a month because my depression worsened and I had very intensified suicide thoughts. Not to mention sores on my tongue. I told him that I progressively came off of it and things got better from that stand point.

Then he looked at me and asked: "You came to your own conclusion that your suicidal thoughts were worsening"?

Weird ?, I said "yes", why?

He told me that there has been increasing reports of those on Lyrica that have either reached their suicide threshold (whatever that means) or ones who have increased in suicidal behavior.

So I looked it up and here is a link you can read about the study. However please note that it seems like all these drugs are anti epileptic drugs that are used for pain and fibro.
