I am having horrible problems. I just started taking, for the first time,
50mg. of Lyrica last night at 4AM and my urination has immediately
DROPPED by over 80% !! I drank about 5 large glasses of water this
morning and hardly anything is coming out 4 hours later.
Also, constipation and urinary irritation started.

I'm terrified my kidneys have been damaged by the Lyrica.
I stopped taking it. Extreme danger seems to be indicated.
I only took it one time ...50 mg. that's all!

I never had this problem with neurontin.
I pray to God my kidney function will come back.

UPDATE:

After praying to God for a miracle, now at 7:00PM, 17 hrs.
later, I have just had a good high pressure urination and also
a good bowel movement. Urinary irritation is almost all gone.

All I can say is thank God and Jesus Christ for answering my
prayers.

Contrary to what Pfizer said, this drug is horrifically different
than Neurontin. These biochemists don't know what they're
dealing with, or what they've created with this 'updated'
version of Neurontin.

I am so glad to hear this great news. Feel better!

For anyone interested, go here and read about the side effects of Lyrica.
(towards the bottom of the page! ... it's almost unbelievable)

Joe, I join you in giving thanks that your elimination system is back to functioning correctly

As the mom of a son who had horrendous side effects to the meds he was precribed, I sure do agree with you on the fact that many doctors and the pharma companies dont warn us properly about these things!
One of the reasons that I now do my own intensive research about potential side effects and anecdotal experience of other people before anyone in my family gets to take anything!!

make sure you are not retaining urine , if you are you will get all kinds of complications. THE quantity that comes out is not as important as the quantity that is retained. a urologist can measure the residual in bladder with a non invasive hand held device.
