Benefits
Lyrica meds did help me with reducing my pain due to fibromyalgia. I could get up, do my daily work and walk around in the neighbourhood as well. Simply I became a little more active and started participating in physical activities.
Side Effects
If it hadn’t been for its side effects I would have chosen it for long term basis. I developed swelling in my hands and feet. It made me so tired and dizzy to the extent of limiting my activities and probably this lead to an increase in weight as well. I was unable to concentrate and my reflexes and thought process became slow. The Lyrica withdrawal was bad but I think I made the right decision.
