Fibroqueen, I found it interesting to read your comments on Lyrica in relation to your driving. My Mom was on Lyrica for a short duration and while she was unaware of any driving related affect of the medication on her, I took note of the fact that my Mom (78 years of age), normally a very cautious driver, had taken on an aggressive driving manner that I had never before seen in her. The last day of her use of Lyrica was when she had two driving related incidents in a span of about ten minutes...fortunately no one was hurt, but the way the medication caused her to take risks while driving in a manner that was entirely uncharacteristic of her was frightening to observe. Prior to that day I had mentioned to her on a number of occasions that she was using the gas pedal when use of the brake would have been the appropriate action. She didn't believe me, at least, not until the day of the two driving "incidents". The cost of the repairs to the car were fairly significant due to the high deductible on the car insurance plan.

lyrica does not work for me. it definitely gave me a dark cloud, depressed feeling.
