They ONLY change made, was my Doctor placed me on Lyrica. I weighed 165 pounds. After seven months, I weighed 260 pounds and lost most of my teeth. So far, I have paid 25K dollars in temporary, restorative dentistry. I am now moving on to my final steps, which will cost another 25K dollars!

Lyrica is a terrible, terrible medication. Beware of taking it and be sure you do the research on all of the other people having horrible side effects of Lyrica. Pfizer is going DOWN!


PLEASE let me know more about this!! At the moment I'm reduced to having to use my son's school laptop, so can't really surf the web....

I took Lyrica approx 8 mo. and it was a horrible experience.
I've finally lost the 30 lbs i gained while on it. BUT I have never had any dental issues whatsoever.
Teeth were fine B4 Lyrica.
NOW I'm having to get 2 extractions and trying to salvage a 3rd one.
However, I can't get any major dental work done for 6 wks because i've recently had a surgery and post op restrictions say dental work (even if on antibiotics) is too big a risk for infection until 6 wks of healing.
!!!! By this time, my 3rd tooth may be a lost cause!

It'll be hard to prove the Lyrica is the culprit tho. My teeth were perfectly fine while on the other meds (that caused dry mouth)......but coincidence or not, I'm VERY concerned about this Lyrica Theory. ! IF there is a law-suit I would love to at least have the thread of hope that perhaps I could get reimbursed the $6K in dental costs.

I know in my heart Lyrica did me bad......but lawsuits don't look at people's 'hearts'.....

Default Check out our dear Bryianna in the Dental forums!

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum89.html
She's been a rock for me and will likely be able to help you too, along w/Mrs D. They both come to similar conclusions but from different directions.
Both smart and wise in their fields.
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Worst that can happen is a 'DUH?'.
Keep at it! - j
