LYRICA AND SIDE EFFECTS!

WHY....won't the doctor tell you about the side effects????

Thank God I only have to take it for a week.  It makes me dizzy, sleepy, and BLOATED.... at least I hope it is bloat.  One of the side effects is weight gain.  A woman NEVER wants that side effect especially if she has been trying to lose for 6 months.

I pity the people who have to take this daily and more than twice a day. I saw a friend of mine today and she has to take it 3 x a day. It helps but she said it has made her put on a lot of weight, and it a gain you can't control.

I don't have an appetite on this and the anti-viral I am on, so I know it is the meds.

Enough ranting..........I just want the docs to be up front with information, and the price of such medications.

The anti viral was almost $170 for GENERIC.

Thanks for listening.

For a Generic, that is absurd!  Oh Linda :(  my prayers are with you.  You poor thing.  If it's not breaking the pocket book it's causing side effects.. but BOTH.. now that is something to be upset about!  I am sending well wishes and hopes for you to heal quickly!  Mind, Body and pocket book!  lol

NANAG,  

Sometimes on the weekends and during heavy traffic times it takes a little longer for the posts to appear on the site. Currently it appears that the e-mail notification processes before the posts arrive on the site.  You have the option to turn off e-mail notifications in your profile and just read posts that are live within the site as you check in. 

I apologize for any confusion.

I used to be on Lyrica but there was some controversy about it and my doc took me off. I am now on gabapentin. Not saying it's any better but I'm not gaining weight.
