Haldol (haloperidol)   Flomax (tamsulosin)   nortriptyline   lorazepam   mycophenolate mofetil   Celebrex (celecoxib)   Evoxac (cevimeline)   pantoprazole   Cymbalta (duloxetine)   Lyrica (pregabalin) 300mg 2 years			Involuntary jerking	No Side Effects	I take this drug at 100 mg. 3 times per day. I have had none of the side effects listed by many other users. It has been a "miracle" drug for me in that it has stopped the pain and neuralgia associated with my movement disorder. I do have a fair amount of sleepiness, but this is most likely caused by several of the other drugs I take as a part of my overall treatment plan.	61	Male	11/19

pregabalin   Lyrica (pregabalin) 50 mg 15 days			Numbness or tingling ("pins and needles") Burning, prickling, tickling or tingling	Bruising Purpura Rash with bumps beneath the skin Reddening of the skin due to widening of small blood vessels Tremor	I was prescribed Lyrica by a neurologist because I had tingling and throbbing in my calves. I am also taking lamictal, ropinirole and methylphenidate. I took 15 tablets of Lyrica and then discontinued it because of the cost ($240/mo.) for 50 mg. tablets. After stopping it for 7 days I got tremors. I do not know if it was caused by Lyrica. One day I woke up with my legs shaking uncontrollably so I took one Lyrica b/c I thought it might stop the shaking. But later on I developed severe shaking and could not stand without assistance. I had to go to ER. Today I took 2 Lyrica of 50 mg. each and right after that I was shaking again and balance was off and I was staggering. I also had bleeding under the skin -- I think it is called purpura -- I am not sure if that was caused by the Lyrica --I was also taking an NSAID which also caused purpura and I have had that before with aspirin and naproxyn so I don't know if the Lyrica caused the bleeding. I am pretty sure the Lyrica caused the severe tremors and the loss of balance.	70	Female	11/05

Lyrica (pregabalin) 60 mg 2 years			Myotonia (abnormally long time for muscles to fully relax after a strong muscle contraction)	Numbness or tingling Numbness of the tongue Numbness/tingling in toes/fingers Numbness/tingling in hands/feet Numbness/tingling in fingers Reduced thinking ability/mental clarity Numbness	I started on the lowest dose and as my disease progressed, my dose was increased. As my dosing was increased these side effects increased, until I started having delusions. Under my Urologists (not the prescribing Doctor) I weaned off off this awful drug and lo and behold the side effects disappeared. If I listened to the prescribing Dr. I would probably be dead or in the psych Ward. He said he never heard of those side effects.	47	Female	09/18

Lyrica (pregabalin)			Diabetes	Lack of ability to have an orgasm Ejaculation problems	I started out at 150mg. daily. The burning was lessened but not what I consider stellar relief. However, in the overall scheme, there was some relief. My doctor increased the dose to 300 mg. per day to see if I got more relief. I did, but in the end, I started having erection problems but did achieve orgasm with no problems except those in my head. Just recently, my doctor increased it again to 450 mg. daily. Now, I just get erections mostly but cannot ejaculate. Now that's frustrating. I am quitting the 450 mg. and decreasing to 300 mg. again. After that, I will go down to 150 mg. Eventually, I'd like to eliminate it because the amount of relief it provides for the nerve pain is not worth any of the side effects.	58	Male	09/17

pregabalin 175 1 years			Nerve pain	Temporary nausea Drowsiness Brain fog	I've been taking Pregabalin for about a year. I started on a 25mg dose and found it to be immediately effective, with few side effects (my pain clinic explained that although this dose is classed as 'pre-therapeutic' pain patients are often very sensitive to any drugs). I built up tolerance quickly and increased my dose 25mg at a time, under supervision from a consultant, but at my own pace. She also advised me that I could split my doses to suit me - drowsiness was a problem, so we placed my largest dose overnight. I was having pain problems by lunchtime so we split my dose and moved some of it to there. Doses at 200-250mg a day caused bad side effects for me - sleepiness and brain fog and walking into things were worst. I reduced to 175 a day and all has been well for a while. I do get some brain fog and I'm wondering if recent UTIs and dyspareunia are linked to pregabalin build up, but over all, I'm one of the lucky ones for whom pregabalin works. I've got my life back, I can walk around and exercise again, I can bend and lift and dance, and it's all down to a few little pills!	29	Female	07/27

pregabalin 200mg+ 5 months			Cluster headaches	Melancholy	Initially you go on a fantastic high but this gradually declines. Doctors diagnose depression and reject the possibility that the medication is to blame. Take as low a dose as possible	60	Male	07/17

pregabalin 200mg 3 months			Fibromyalgia (condition with chronic muscle, tissue and joint pain; fatigue; and tenderness of specific body areas)	Dry mouth Insomnia and other sleep problems Muscle cramps Brain fog	I have had fibromyalgia for over 20 years and the pain in my back was getting unmanageable. I had been on a low dose of pregabalin (25mg) for many years, along with an enormous cocktail of other drugs, when I read a report about it being licenced for fibromyalgia. I took the report to my doctor, who agreed it was worth a try gradually increasing the dose and see what happened. After 3 months I am now on 100mg night and morning and finally am getting some pain relief for my back. Unfortunately I have a long way to go to get to the recommended 350mg a day. At present possibly the worst sympton is severe cramp in my feet and legs - I only have to stretch slightly when I get into bed and it starts. It is incredibly bad, often going from my big toe up to my groin and wakes me up approximately every two hours. Last night was the pits and I feel I can stand it no longer. I haven't had a good night's sleep for months, along with many other side effects, but keep trying because of the help with severe back pain which was literally ruining my life (along with fibromyalgia generally). I am at a stage when I don't know whether to start cutting down on it, or will the side effects eventually go away. Am totally at the end of my tether, and don't know which is worse - all my fibromyalgia problems (and I have it with severity) or struggle on and hope for the best. Written at the end of yet another virtually sleepless night, I would be so glad to hear from others who have similar problems - I feel as if I am on my own here and am getting pretty depressed about it.	69	Female	07/10

	Comments(1): 09/24 01:22 Adderall is known to cause muscle tension and rigidity, and may be making your condition worse. Does your doctor know you are taking both Vicodin and Oxy-Contin? If so, I might consider a different doctor. Both of those narcotics are generally not very effective for muscle inflammation or even muscle pain. Use for a prolonged period often actually CAUSES pain and soreness. I personally experienced that. Ask your doctor about a muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) or if that makes you too drowsy, something like Skelaxin or Robaxin. Please note contraindication between cyclobenzaprine and Adderall.

Adderall (amphetamine-dextroamphetamine)   Adderall XR (amphetamine-dextroamphetamine) 20mg 2 days Abilify (aripiprazole)   Lyrica (pregabalin)			Problems with attention/concentration	Dry mouth Muscle/heart blood test abnormalities Abnormal blood test - high CPK levels	I have been taking AdderallXR for seven months for Adult ADHD. I started at 5mg, moved to 10mg two months later, and just increased to 20mg after addressing a range of other stressors (spouse had surgery, critically ill animal, holidays, job stress, began full time school with full time work, etc.) and coming to see that I just wasn't at a therapeutic dose yet. I experience minor dry mouth which is easily taken care of by drinking more water. I experience minor constipation that is 99.99% resolved by taking Probiotic Advantage every day. The only side effect that has caused me any real discomfort is heartburn and some reflux. I tried over-the-counter ranitidine (Zantac), but it was insufficient. Now I'm taking time released Prevacid (prescription) and that seems to be taking care of things just fine.	45	Female	04/25

Cut dosage to one a day and then one year later began getting muscle cramps in feet and legs, but it took me awhile to put two and two together and realizing it was the Lyrica so I stopped taking it.	61	Female	04/06
