Lyrica
So I've took myself off lyrica because 1. I have gained so much weight from it i believe. 2. I have had suicidal thoughts for 6.months at least. Anyone who knows me knows that isn't happening but I feel like my mind is clouded so I pulled myself off. The anxiety has gotten worse but those thoughts arent nearly as bad. Im.also not as hungry.
All the published info on Lyrics states that it will cause weight gain and can cause suicidal thoughts. It is in the literature inside the boxes. I do wish these docs would brush up on the adverse reactions before prescribing ANYTHING.
I took myself off too. It was terrible after a few days I couldn't move, the pain was so bad! My husband called the Doctor and renewed the script. I also had suicidal thoughts and even had my plan. I scared myself so badly I told my husband. Good thing too! He got me into my Doctors office and she started me on Wellbutrin 200mg 2Xs a day, citalypram 20 mg 1X, clonazipran 20mgs 2Xs a day, and amatriptalene 4 mgs 1X a day. I feel so much better as far as no longer suicidal.
Lyrics gave me sucidal thoughts as well and made me so depressed
I recently weaned off of Lyrica too. Not enuf benefit compared to the side effects.
I have been on wellbutrin before. I'm trying to get off all my medicines. It's not been easy bit one step at a time
