I am once again in the 1% category with this drug. Gee what a surprise.

Last night was a wild ride with Lyrica...not sure I want to continue it. Or maybe I can get the pharmacist to give me the 25mg capsules in exchange for the 50mg capsules and see if that will help. And my doc wants me to take this drug 3 times a day! I think not...I just read the entire medication insert for this drug and the clinical trial information. Max dose is 300mg a day.

Two of the "infrequent" (1/100 to 1/1000) side effects in all the clinical studies for lyrica (pregabalin) are abnormal dreams and hallucinations. Well...as I said, wild night last night.

Reminded me of the first time I had IVSM and they infused the 1000mg over 30 minutes. I hallucinated for 12 hours! When the nurse showed up the next day for infusion number 2, I was scared to death. I thought maybe not walking and not peeing was much better than hallucinating. She slowed the infusion down to 1.5 hours and I didn't have that problem again.

I don't like having people walk through my bedroom and touch me and stand over me. It was too spooky. I woke up twice screaming and even checked to make sure the doors to the house were locked. It was so real I swear I could feel someone take the covers off me and I could feel them when I reached out to push them away.
