Lyrica/stomach aches?
 
Please help. I started Lyrica a week ago and it has been a Godsend for my pain. I really don't want to stop taking it. I was on Gabapentin before but developed itching, so switched to Lyrica and its helping soooooo much.

But now I'm having horrible acid reflux problems that are getting worse over last few days. It started on day 2 of Lyrica.

Has anyone else linked stomach problems to Lyrica?

apart from looking 9 months pregnant occasionally none. The bowels have slowed down but switching to mostly vegetable fixed that.

Could be total coincidence since meds and neuro can be blamed for any new symptoms arising. My mother died of cancer thinking it was just another pain from neuropathy .

Why dont you take zantac for a week and see what happens

I am not on Lyrica but with another med it nothered my stomach. Do you notice a time a day it is worse? Do you take this on an empty stomach? I can't recall how one is supposed to take Lyrica. I know with my cymbalta I take it with food and it helps my stomach. Just a thought.
