Welcome to NT!

This is a great place for support and understanding and I'm so glad you found us!
I'm sorry for these conditions you are faced with. You certainly are not alone in this. Many caring friends will embrace you and your circumstances, so please make yourself right at home.

Regarding the Lyrica....I took it for 9 months for my peripheral neuropathy in my lower limbs. To this day, I can't say for sure whether or not it really helped. I was on several meds at the time they put me on this one.
But oh my Lord, let me warn you of the potential for rapid weight gain. Not to 'scare' you, but just be aware that alot of people had this side effect. I gained almost 60 lbs simply by breathing the air it seemed . I've since lost all that weight, but it sure was a bad experience.

This isn't to say that everybody has dealt with this tho. Some folks have had good results with Lyrica.
Azoyizes has pointed you to a good forum here where medications are discussed.

I hope you can get all the answers you are looking for.
It's great to have you here!

Caring,
Rae

Hey, welcome to NT

I took "rotten Neurontin" for a while. They came out with Lyrica later.

I had a lot of problems with Neurontin, but it helped my symptoms more than any one drug. There's always a trade!

Keep a diary of your meds and symptoms.

Discuss it with your doctor.

Some drugs are harder on some of us. I don't know why. We're individuals and very unique.

Hang in there...
