Pfizer Lyrica — 

I started taking Lyrica for Neuralgia pain. It took the pain away which was great but i felt loopy all day it was horrible.

Having  a dry mouth I could live with. But being spaced out all day was not fun, I am a mother of 2 young kids and I was afraid to drive the car with them. I could not even roll out of bed sometimes or even lift my arm. This drug is definitely not for me...

It was very frustrating because i was so drugged up I could not function. After being on this drug for about two months I started getting depressed and feeling like I wanted to hurt myself, I was speaking to my husband and this is not in my nature to think this way so we read on the side-effects of this drug and there it was in black and white this drug may cause you to feel suicidal in some patients. So I spoke to my doctor and he took me off the drug immediately.

I hope this helps some you.

Wow, sorry you had such a bad experience! I was wondering how this drug worked...scary! Great review and good information for everyone to be aware about the side effects.
