User Reviews for Lyrica oral

relief is great for at night, can't take it during the day do to drowsiness.

After many years of back pain, sciatica, knee pain, two back surgery's, oxycodone, oxicontin, physio etc.and no pain relief, my surgeon prescribed Lyrica. What a difference!! Pain is now only about half of what it used to be. I also have a condition know as Achalasia. Because of this condition i have Gerds. I was amazed at how effective it was towards my heartburns. About 90% of pain and burning discomfort is gone.I am no longer taking Domperidone and Pantaloc (with my GP's permission). Have not had any major heatburn in months. I have had some burning discomfort every now and then, but nothing that a glass of milk couldn't take care of. And because of the fewer heartburns, i now have better sleep through most nights. My GP isn't sure why the lyrica has reduced my heartburn, but he suspects that a nerve that runs along the stomach wall may be benefiting from the lyrica. Whatever it is, i feel much better because of better sleep. Lyrica has been very effective controlling my nerve pain. I find it difficult to swallow because it only comes in capsules. Because of my Achalasia the pills tend to stick to my throat. Other than that i am quite satisfied.Read More Read Less

I have suffered 10 years from chronic pain f due to nerve damage in the lower back and legs, due to two surgeries. I have only been on this for a week and have noticed great changes in my pain. I can function and do the things I've used to before the pain took over my life, I hope it continues to work for me.

it helped my nevere pain from a back injury, weaning off was a bit tricky , I couldn't sleep..

THIS MEDICATION MADE ME GAIN ALMOST 10 POUNDS IN 2 WEEKS. I STILL CANNOT GET RID OF THIS EXCESSIVE WEIGHT THAT I DID NOT HAVE BEFORE I TOOK LYRICA. I AM AN ACTIVE PERSON, GO TO THE GYM 2X A WEEK, RIDE A BICYCLE AND MY JOB IS NOT SEDINTARY. I WIASH SOMEONE WOULD HAVE WARNED ME OF THIS TERRIBLE SIDE EFFECT. ADDED WEIGHT CAN ALSO INCREASE BACK PAIN.

My doctor put me on Lyrica about two to three weeks ago and I have been pain free with migraine's. It works for me to this present day but only time will tell how truly effective the medication will be

I took this drug for six months for chronic pain I received no benefit what so ever and I finally decided to discontinue use. My prescribing doctor would have had me continue use forever even though I had told him I was not experiencing any benefit.

After three days I could tell a difference in my fibromylgia symptoms.
