Anyways, When he was on Neurontin I read once (and I'd have to find that information again) that Neurontin could stay in your system/body and one could have side effects for up to 3 years AFTER taking the medication. THATS PRETTY DARN SCARY. My thought is, is that if you were just off the Lyrica for a few days I'm guessing its more then probable you were still experience the side effects (blurred vision) from the Lyrica.

It concerns me that people/patients are often unaware (mis-informed) of how long these meds can "linger" on in our bodies...weeks, months, years later. The Dr's dont tell us this AND it's written in that tiny, tiny print at the bottom of the page IF it's there at all....

SCARY!!!

all the best!
