I didn't tolerate Lyrica (or gabapentin) well either, but many rave about it -- everyone is different. IIRC, my doctor wanted me to give it a month (which I did) to see if the side effects abate.
A condition called torticollis ("twisted neck") has been reported as a side effect of Lyrica/pregabalin. lyrica torticollis With any/every med., the question is, do the benefits outweigh the side effects (or... does the good outweigh the bad). Your doctor needs to know about this and any other intolerable side effects, and whether or not the Lyrica/pregabalin is helping. If you decide to discontinue it, your doctor needs to taper you off of it slowly -- please do not discontinue abruptly. Quote:
