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: |
Lyrica withdrawal , reached a low

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.
