Hello..

This is my provence BC in Canada, and I think this is huge.. they are already testing Lyrica with CRPS in clinical trials elsewhere (and gabipentin). This is the same company that made the fibromyalgia commercials putting fibro on the map so to speak and I am thinking RSD/CRPS is next.

"The money will be administered by the review panel of the CDRD and Pfizer and will be aimed at helping researchers overcome the costly gap between discovery and commercialization, a gap often dubbed the "valley of death" because it can be so difficult to overcome."

I can attested to the use of Lyrica for RSD, I have been using it
since 2003 without any side effects, which there are several, I have had it increased a
couple times and did try to go a week without it....day 3 rolled around and I had to start taking it again.
hahahahahaha

A year ago, I tried to get off of Lyrica and had the same experience--three days off it, and all the pain came back. But this year I was able to go for three weeks before the pain came back. So there is hope! How many years till I'm off it completely? Well, we'll hope there are new developments prior to that

I hear you on that one girl....There is "Always" hope!!

Love, Peace & Blessings,

It is very hard to write this post

I find the lyrica helps alot but I have also found that I have had what I can call disturbing thoughts.. it's weird its not good.. Its hard to explain not exactly suicidal but thoughts of death.. my death.. and its just since I started the lyrica I think.. I hadn't put the two together till I came across the FDA alert on it.

So now it's another reason for me not to up it.. and I should probibly get off lyrica but I dont want to.. it works very well for me.. I don't know what to do but if my thought process and depression get any worse I will have to wean off it I probly should anyway
