A good friend of mine that has been a LPN for 35 years sent me this information on Lyrica and I was quite amazed on findings and why it is still on the market 🤷🏼‍♂️ Just thought it was a good read. “urhealthguide.com/neurontin-lyrica-death-sentence “👍🙏🐾Ken

Ken thank you for this link. My rheumatologist has said that no one is reporting that it also causes osteoporosis. It seems like the neurologists are giving it out like candy.

Ken, I tried Lyrica quite a long time ago and had terrible adverse reactions to it. As soon as I took it, I started falling down, literally could not walk. Got a terrible headache that just went on and on. Obviously I only took it once, that was enough! Great info. Hope you are feeling good. You are always in my prayers. Love, Kelly xx

Hi Ken....

I was checking out this website urhealthguide and I came across this information. scamadviser.com/is-urhealth...

As if it isn’t difficult enough for us to get information, apparently there are unscrupulous groups willing to disseminate fake information.

😠

I’m not a fan of Lyrica and want to get off of it but it’s really hard. I’ve been stepping down from 300mg 2x a day with my pain doc. Down to 150mg 2x a day and hoping going down to 100mg at this month’s appt.

I don’t like it because it makes it so hard to lose weight and very easy to gain it!! Definitely not what I need right now!

I tried once reducing my 150 daily dose to 100 and had such difficulty that I gave up. I'm pulling for you

Thanks! When he dropped me from 300mg 2x a day to 200mg 2x a day, I definitely had some withdrawal symptoms for a week or so. The drop from 200 to 150 was much easier.
