Does Lyrica Cause Anyone Else To Have Side Effects?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Bowling Green, KY

So far, my Lyrica has increased my appetite, and caused really odd cravings (I fact checked that one, it's possible). The appetite increase is slowly waning, but I'm still having cravings. Also, I'm on two 75mg pills per day. It's beginning to not help me as much.

I take 3 Cymbalta and they started me on 2 Lyrica. Zombie is exactly how I would explain it, it affected me at work. So I started taking one Lyrica and 3 Cymbalta at night.

Lyrica is different for everyone... ALL meds cause a different reaction for each person, so it is all trial & error as to what works for you. Do not stop taking Lyrica suddenly, or without your doctors help; it must be slowly weaned off of, as with most types of these fibro meds and anti-depressants. Please talk to your doctor if you have any troublesome side effects or wish to wean off. Hugs! Susan

The side affects for me were not worth it with Lyrica! Get yourself off of it! Try something else!

I had to stop taking it! it was awful and caused me to feel super exhausted, spacey, zombie-like, and moody. Cymbalta & Effexor had the same effects on me. I hope you have better results. Hugs! Susan
