Whats up with Lovan Withdrawals
 

Ive been on Neurontin and now Lyrica the wonder drug to Australia but only put on weight and hasnt settled chronic regional pain syndrome been on for twelve months, I asked my dr if it caused weight increase NO ????????? and occasionally I forget to take my Lyrica it reminds me by giving me the stomach shakes and shivers almost like giving up drugs I believe not knowing about this I wondered if other people with this problem dealt with this> I am also on paroxetine for my problems with depression because of the vicious cycle of pain and indocid and panadeine forte and oxynormin and others dealing with the many problems I seem to be having. I am presently reducing my meds and only taking pain and anti inflammatory drugs and reducing lyrica and paroxetine because I dont think that they are working at all = more trouble than worth I feel spacy. Please let me know if anyone has experienced problems with mostly lyrica and paroxetine.

Not convinced about lyrica for me
 

I have fibromyalgia, RSD and meralgia paresthetica. I have taken over 45 meds with no pain relief. This is my 3rd try on lyrica. (now at 400 mg.). I agree - terrible weight gain. Since I am disabled I cannot walk - just a very short distance to the car. Thus - can't exercise - not biking or swimming either. I just lost 30 pounds and since being on lyrica gained at least 15 back. Very frustrating. My back pain seems a bit better but I cannot be sure as my back pain goes into a mild remission at times. It may be a coincidence because I now have terrible knee, ankle and face pain. Also have neuropathic mouth pain. Shouldn't lyrica being helping that also?
Very confusing. I may go off it and see what happens as I hate the weight gain again. Still in pain everywhere else so is it worth it.
Best wihses to you,

down from 150mg X 2 a day to 75mg X 3 a day.
 

I just had to have my lyrica decreased because of disorenting effects of the drug.. but it seems to help with a fair bit of the pain though noticed when I lowered the dose.
