Medicine: Lyrica
Wed, 06/21/2006 - 11:25Topic: Epilepsy.com Help
I'm new to the website. I've been on Lyrica now for 6 months now and am experiencing lots of anxiety and emotional problems. I feel its tearing my marriage of 25 years apart. I don't see my doctor until late August. Do you think I should see him earlier? Its very hard because I don't have anyone too share my problems with. My husband is tierd of running me to doctor appts. I wouldike to know someones input on the subject.
Thanks All

Cindy M I realized now that one of my other side effect is blurred vision. I thought it was just being on the computer too long. But I think it has something to do with being on Lyrica for the past year. I started to wear my glasses more often and all day long. My doctor wants me off of it for it is making me gain weight. I also have the heart palpatations every night from it too. SO hopefully in January I will start coming down from it. Well I hope you had gotten off of the medication and hope your pain is gone. take care Lisa http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/epilepsyapproach/
