All night in Accident and emergency LYRICA
Hi Everyone, just spent the last 10 hours in A&E . I am coming off Lyrica and experiencing terrible effects . I went to hospital as I had scalp pain and was advised to go to check if it was Temporal arteritis. Fortunately it was not but they said it was evident that there was something not right and it was likely related to nerve pain. I have never had trouble like this before the Lyrica but I am getting a lot of muscle spasm all over and wonder if anyone has come across this while taking of withdrawing from Lyrica ?
Regards Nick |

I can't tell if you're looking for kindred spirits or verification/validation of the side effect. Though I'm not on Lyrica/pregabalin myself, I have come across it, and can tell you that you're not alone in this experience/ordeal. If you don't get the responses you seek, try searching lyrica muscle spasm in the archives and/or lyrica withdrawal syndrome muscle spasm on the web. Doc |

Hi Nick,
Your description of your withdraw symptoms brings back memories - that border on PTSD. I was taken off Lyrica, cold turkey. It was an agony I wouldn't wish on even the most arrogant, uncaring person I know, my neurologist. :mad: |

Good Morning Nick
I'm sure you are exhausted from the time you spent in the A&E.
I was on 1800 mg a day of gabapentin when my dr decided to try Lyrica. He switched me that night which I have read is ok. After starting the Lyrica I began to have terrible stomach aches. Now I'm wondering if they were muscle spasms. This lasted the 3 weeks I was on the Lyrica.....the dr then took me off the Lyrica to see if the stomach aches would recede. Said he has never heard of getting severe stomach aches from Lyrica. Well as soon as I went off the Lyrica the stomach aches stopped. Debi from Georgia |
You are having a terrible time getting off this terrible drug. Are you still tapering? Maybe you need to do this in hospital, under supervision.

During Lyrica withdrawal I had terrible scalp pain. It was so bad that I would almost cry when I brushed my hair. I think it is muscle spasm. Funny I never really thought of muscle on my head. Everything goes into a state of excitation until your body begins to use the GABA receptors normally again.

All night at hospital

HI Mckenzie , I think you and I have been down the same road. I recognise everything you have written. About 2 weeks off Lyrica and it's all hell is kicking off .Extreme muscle spasms all over but mostly head neck and upper back. Joints very painful in knees and hands . tinnitus gone crazy today. Just want a bit of peace. Saw Doc yesterday . He does not believe that Lyrica could do this so he thinks it must be something else. Done blood tests and wants me to go on duluxetine but I'm not having it. Already got valium which I take only 2 mgs bur even scared of that. I suppose I'm just scared now and don't trust any of those docs. If Im right you've been here . How are you doing ? Regards Nick |

I apologize I don't have the energy to read through your posts but I thought about something last night after a conversation with my pain doc, and it made me think of you. Have you been on or tried Neurontin to help with the terrible withdrawal from Lyrica. I have been on and off Nerontin several times and NEVER had a problem with withdrawal. Perhaps a small dose of Neurontin could help you now? Just a thought. You are in my thoughts and prayers, Diandra |

Hi Mckenzie as you say it's really tough this. Thought my back and neck scalp were not to bad earlier but all that changed and I just wish I was asleep. I am exhausted. I often find myself saying the opening lines to " All along the watch tower " There must be someway outa here. Anyway I just know you are right when you say that it's about the bodys GAba coming into or not coming into play. Try googling this Lyrica Withdrawal Symptoms + Duration . It basicly says what you say. The actual link is in Medications and treatments section under my question , Lyrica a Withdrawal question and was in the reply. Tried alcohol a week ago at daughters birthday. It did give me a lift but soon back to earth with a bump. Let me know how you are doing . Regards Nick |
Good day today so far
