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

Hi 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.

Im hannah and im 21 I got put on lyrica , last year and like two months ago I have gotten horrible muscle spasms out of no where on my right side mostly. N I wasnt exactly sure if it was lyrica or just my dead long thoracic nerve. But I am experiencing what you are. I thought I was a crazy person when I had thoae spasms.

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:

Lyrica withdrawal , reached a low

i only took 1 x 150 mg at night before i slept ... and now i wake after one hour, and cant go back to sleep.

how long will this last?

Good Morning Nick
 

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.
