Fibromyalgia Support Group

Hi everyone! I'm new here, but not new to fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed about 10 years ago but have recently been trying new treatment. my question is about Lyrica. Has anyone had any side effects that were listed? I have been taking it since Sunday and I've had terrible headaches (I know that's listed) but I've also been very nauseous. Anyone else have this happen?

it has been a good choice for me it seems to numb me up some, ecspecially in my legs where i have most of my pain

yes i started that last mon. I went to the rhuemmy on friday, and he stopped it, I was very very dizzy and uncordinated. I had no desire for food, maybe from the dizziness. I was nauseous. I have not taken it since friday morn, and Now on cymbalta and my dizziness is still there but not as much. Call your dr. My dr said some people can not tolerate it. Hope you feel better.

I have been taking Lyrica since May ...2 75mg capsules at bedtime and other than memory problems, it helps me.

I would check with the dosage your dr. started you on also.

Some people (most I have talked to) cannot tolerate Lyrica so I m glad there are other meds out there for them to take and get relief.

I don't get it - Lyrica is supposed to be for the pain? I have been taking it 2x a day and now a stronger dosage and the only difference I have is that I have more energy and alert. I don't feel any different with my pain.

I was taking Lyrica but was having bad vertigo and double vision so my GP stopped it,there was no difference in my pain levels.

I don't remember nausea, but I was dizzy for the first 3 or 4 weeks I was on it. It actually made my nerve pain worse.
