Hi everyone been given lyrica for my anxiety. It's got to the stage where I don't really like leaving the house! I've tryed everything, even starting tryin illegal drugs to deal with it! I ended up on heroin for 5 years which I'm now clean of, thank god! The withdraws were so bad it took a while to get off! Neway I worried that I'm gona have to go thought the same thing again on lyrica after reading about?? If lyrica took away my anxiety I wouldn't mind staying on it. The only other thing that helped a bit was valuim but ended up getting hooked on that and needed more and more! So ended up getting off that. Can neone please help
Not sure what to say...worked for anxietywith me for 3 months with no big side effects BUT now anxiety back and lot of weird body sensations are these side effects? Somthing else to be anxious about!!
Thanxs for your reply Anne. I've started taking them anyway (225mg a day) It took away my anxiety and even made it to the gym yeserday! But I don't know wherever to carry on taking them after hearing about your experience! How much do u take a day?
Sorry that post was meant for you Anne sent it to myself
Taking 150 mg. "Side effects" might not be side effects but somthing else....can't see a Doc for 3 weeks. BUT certainally are not helping anxiety any longer unfortunatly. Good luck...
Hi Luke,
I am taking (600mg a day) for fibromyalgia which is a sort of chronic pain,I have been on this dose for over a year now and I think they do work for anxiety too because I started to notice that when I have been in a lot of situations where I would have been shy or panicy I just have not been bothered at all
