Avatar m tn Getting off Lyrica may cause a number of discontinuation side effects. Quitting Lyrica suddenly can result in withdrawal symptoms including insomnia, headache, nausea, diarrhea and flu-like symptoms.
7868395 tn?1394907293 If you are still bothered by nausea..ask your doc for a anti nausea med. Try and get yourself involved in something you like or enjoy doing. I hope this will help you. Many blessing and strength.
Avatar f tn The side effects the last 2 days have almost become intolerable. The nausea will not respond to prescription ant-nausea medication and is now such that I can't face food and can't concentrate past the nausea. Having to just lay down most of the time now. My memory has deteriorated where talking is taking concentration and I can't remember things I did or said 5 minutes ago. I have just wandered away from the stove with things cooking on it!
632011 tn?1234347109 Hi guys, hope all are doing Ok.---I got a quick question for you, and hope someone can help out.---Has any of you been put on Lyrica for "issues"w/ MS? And did it seem to help or not, what type of side effects you may of had?---My Dr just called and wants me to pick up a script for it and I was just trying to see if anyone else was/ is put on it? Any feedback would help.--Thanks in advance.
1496859 tn?1304515434 that is why I thought it was a result from stop taking Lyrica. I did not gain much weight on it and the nausea was never an issue until I quit taking it. And yet another question I was looking at my brain mri (on paper) and I don't think I have Chiari though I have 1mm herniation.. I cant see any csf blocking but lol I really haven't seen any other mri´s either :) If I can put one on my profile could you do me the favor and look at it..
1088527 tn?1425313375 200 is still enough that u should cut that in half again before weaning off. I was on 300mg and weaned off it, I also had/ have nasea and vomiting and feeling flushed but don't think it's related to the lyrica, instead related to my cancer/ recovery / chemo. I had to go off Lyrica becaus of weight gain. I stpped it a few weeks back and already dropped a few pounds and can do my pants up agian!
Avatar f tn Has anyone had any serious sideeffects with Lyrica? I kept telling dr I had concrete calves as well as rest of pain. Dr said "your persception of your pain is not the reality of your pain" and sent me to shrink. Will keep seeing shrink cause I feel she can help me with pain coping skills and my depression, anxiety,panic attacks. But I did look up some of my meds on computer and 4 of them could cause severe leg muscle pain and swelling.
Avatar n tn left leg pain down the back of my leg my calf pain is very bad down to my numbing toes my DR.

Avatar f tn I don't think this is being cause entirely by the Lyrica withdrawel. When I went off Lyrica, I had the nausea and sweats, but it didi't last that long. I did have my doctor give me 50gm dosages and tapered down from that, but again the "side effects" of going off were only short-lived. How long have you been trying to taper down? How bad are the symptoms? IF they are bad enough to interfere with your daily life, then you need to get checked out by your doctor.
Avatar n tn Have you considered trying Neurontin? I took it for years prior to Lyrica but found Lyrica worked just a little better for me. They also use it to help with Fibromyalgia pain.
Avatar f tn Hi, I am a 48 yr.old female living with SLE. fibromyalgia. celiatic sprue, and arthritis. All of course resulting in depression and sleep disturbances. In addition to the sunburn rash I have on a daily basis to my chest, I have just recently been diagnosed with a skin disease known as granuloma annulare, cause unknown, but possibly related to a diabetic rash. I also have had a reoccurring out break of extreme itches from head to toe.
Avatar f tn intermittent nausea and vomiting that is sometime quite severe and seems to get worse with activity. Also, pain and tenderness in one eye and corresponding temple that spreads outwards over scalp. This pain gets so severe that I can't sleep on that side or bear to have it touched. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
5100586 tn?1363644754 My experience with lyrica withdraw has been the same as everyone else's. I'm very tired all of the time. I think suicidal thoughts. I cannot enjoy anything. It has been 2 months and it seems to be getting better. I have withdrew from suboxone, heroin, and pain pills in the past. Lyrica is a tough one. It is getting better. But is a slow process. I took lyrica for 5 years 200 mg a day. I try to rest as often as I can.
867524 tn?1314918673 I have been suffering with chronic nausea for 2 weeks and I've taken nausea meds that don't help for very long. Any idea what I can do for this problem?. I've been to the Dr and he doesn't know what is causing it.
485259 tn?1519047026 If anyone has nausea from their pain meds, I tried Emetrol yesterday with my Lyrica/Hydrocodone. I am not sure what makes me sick, I think everything at this point. But this over the counter liquid, 1 TBS for adults, worked wonders. Did not make me sleeply like other antinausea meds out there. Just posting in case it can help someone else have a better day because it's bad enough to have pain, but the side effects that come with it are just too much some days!
773646 tn?1239225659 Also pain and buzzing in fingers, toes, forearms - well just about everywhere! I went on 300 mg of Lyrica in August of 08 following a major MS flare-up. The Lyrica completely eliminated the the pain and buzzing. I was thrilled with the results. The problem with Lyrica is the weight gain/inability to lose weight while taking it. My Neuro told me there is no way I could lose weight on 300mg so at his suggestion I cut it down to 200mg and then after a week to 100mg.
1415174 tn?1453243103 thanks. Did you get nausea or vomiting from Lyrica?
986593 tn?1283532211 Abrupt or Rapid Discontinuation Following abrupt or rapid discontinuation of LYRICA, some patients reported symptoms including insomnia, nausea, headache, and diarrhea. LYRICA should be tapered gradually over a minimum of 1 week rather than discontinued abruptly. Hmm, sound familiar?
217229 tn?1192762404 OK - can anyone who has taken Lyrica and Cymbalta in conjunction with each other please give me your experiences --- and how long you've been taking them? I've been temporarily "diagnosed" with neuropathic pain issues (think Fibromyalgia). Waiting on some final test results to rule out any other Autoimmune Disease - but I believe I'll be finally diagnosed as Fibromyalgia. My Rheumatologist / Internist has prescribed Lyrica and Cymbalta together.
Avatar f tn For neuropathy and other sensations I had relief with both Cymbalta and Lyrica. The only downside to the Lyrica was difficulty with cognition and drowsiness. Savella (milnacipran) is the new medication and it works much the same as Cymbalta...it is an antidepressant. As uk2 mentioned, the patches help with pain as well. My current treatment is with Ultram for both FMS and RSD and Trazadone for sleep. It's much a 'trial and error'...
Avatar f tn I was just put on Lyrica, the doc thinks I might have Fibro...I have all the symptoms that go along with it...I have noticed though over the last week since I've been taking it that my anxiety has increased and it feels like my heart is beating faster....I have always been on Xanax for anxiety ( last 4 yrs. ) but I haven't had to use it as much until lately...or could this just be a symptom of Fibro since it's really flared up due to the cold weather?
3122908 tn?1342154651 ll prescribe something else....keeping in mind that my pregabalin (Lyrica) is very expensive and SOME insurances do not cover it. If you are just tired of taking the medicine, that's up to you, but you will notice the pain again very quickly, within a day or two at most.
4939681 tn?1361299299 Oxycodone gives me horrible nausea (have to sit in fetal position for a couple of hours til it passes). Most recently my intern prescribed me low dose morphine ER. I also gave me horrible nausea and I was so weak that I had to lie still most of the day. Are there any other options that I could suggest to my doctor? My holistic md wanted my to try low dose naltrexone (LDN) back when we were just working on treating the hashi, but I've also read that it works well for Lyme, too.
Avatar m tn Will swelling and itching go away by continuing to take Lyrica. I started in my hands and feet. I have been taking it a month and the symptoms are daily but are mild and seem less and less. Today, it is only swelling on the top of my ear with slight itching. Should it continue taking it, because i heard that discontinuing could cause a seizure.
Avatar f tn Has anyone been prescribed lyrica? I have, and have had great results with it for nerve pain in my right arm and hand. Opinions, please. My two other posts with more description vanished, so I will leave with this lol.
