Lyrica 20mg/ml Solution: My Experience and Side Effects - Pregabalin for Nerve Pain
I've been prescribed Lyrica 20mg/ml Solution for my nerve pain from shingles, and I've had a mix of positive and negative experiences. The medication has definitely helped with the pain, but I'm noticing some side effects that are quite concerning. I've read about some serious side effects, but I'm unsure how common they are or are any long term side effects. I'm interested in hearing from others who have taken this medication to see if their experiences align with mine. Has anyone else dealt with similar issues, and how did you manage them?

Lyrica saved my life. I was at my wits end with the pain from my diabetes. I'm so thankful I found something that works.
I was surprised by how sleepy Lyrica made me. I had to stop driving at night because I was so drowsy. It was kinda scary.
I had to stop Lyrica because it made me feel so high. I had trouble telling my doctor about it. It was embarrassing, to be honest. But I guess it's not uncommon. Just want to spread the word out there.
I've had trouble sleeping since I started Lyrica. I wake up several times and have a hard time falling back to sleep. Anyone else have trouble with sleeping?
Be careful with Lyrica. I had to stop taking it because it made me feel like I was high and confused. I couldn't function.
I had trouble with muscle weakness. I had trouble climbing steps, had to hold onto the railing. I thought it was horrifying. If you feel anything unusual, seek medical attention
I noticed some serious issues when I first started taking Lyrica. My balance was off, I felt confused, and I had trouble walking. It took a while for me to feel stable again. And I had a rash that the doctor said was from Lyrica. I was a little bit afraid, but the doctor said it's not super common and I was fine.
I've been on Lyrica for a year now, and while it's helped with my nerve pain, I've gained quite a bit of weight. I'm talking 30 pounds. It's been hard to lose it. I'm trying to figure out a good diet and exercise regiment.
I'm really concerned about the risk of suicidal thoughts. I'm taking this for shingles pain, and I don't want to deal with mood swings too. That's a serious side effect to take into account.
