Yes, I experienced involuntary muscle twitches like I had Torretts Syndrome on 150 mg of Lyrica. My doctor discintinued it immedietly. I have Lupus, Sjogrens, Fibro, RA. TENS unit only helped me while I used it. As soon as I removed it, pain returned.
yes, i too had horrible side effects. stuck with it for 2 months, but dr. removed. sweats, muscle tics, did nothing to reduce pain, nausea, extreme fatigue (even more than usual), dizziness, depression.
i guess we all have to keep going through the list of meds until we find the one that works for us. im still trying... 3 years now, but im not giving up.
My cousin has nearly identical FM and MCS symptoms as I do. She tried Lyrica and said that the side effects were really bad and she had to stop using it. She didn't say what the symptoms were and I haven't asked her just yet.
I tried Lyrica,and it was awful.It made me feel drunk,and and like one side of my head was heavier than the other.It helped to pain to a degree,but not enough for me to keep taking it and feeling that way.I have had 2 friends that also were put on it and they could not take it.One of them even fell down and hurt her self further..
