Has any one been put on Lyrica for neuropathy? I was started on Lyrica for my Fibromyalgia and found much to my surprise I had numbness in my feet, I wasn't aware I had lost feeling in my feet until I started getting it back. I'm not sure if the numbness is related to the fibro or the diabetes. I know the Lyrica cautions you if on Avandia or Actos because they can potentiate the side effect of weight gain. I am on Actos and much to my surprise (again) I have actually lost some weight. Just thought I'd share my expierence

Well Snoopy, you are lucky to lose weight in spite of these meds. I'm on Lyrica and Actos. I think any weight gain that I have is due to me being a naughty diabetic.

When I first started taking Lyrica, it did feel to me like I had a pair of socks on. It was a numbing sensation. Sometimes, I think that the Lyrica is not doing much because I still hurt some evenings. But, boy, if I forget to take it....I feel the difference.

Foot neuropathy stinks. I sure hope they find a cure or better round of meds for it.

Take Care,
