I sympathize with all of you that have any type of Comprehensive Pain issue. I Have been diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, formerly known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. It's a debilitating Nerve condition, and also benefits from the use of Drugs which have not gotten direct FDA approval. I was on Neronton and also had been up to the 1800mg Daily dosage, and just recently changed over to the new Lyrica 300mg/day. While it seems to be a huge benefit along with the Duragesic patch, I am able to tolerate the cold better. My issue seems to be an issue of sweating profusely about 1 hour after each dose (3 times a day). and have been on it for about 2 months. This sweating just started about 2 weeks ago, and I have now broken out in like hives (wife says I look like I have a sun burn).... I spoke with my Dr. who has been totally involved and supportive, and he seemed someone unconcerned and left the decision to give up the benefits I have realized from Lyrica and return to the last dose of Nerontin.
Was just curious if anyone else has had any type of issues similar to those I have listed since being on Lyrica?
Hi,
I took lyrica for about a month. At first I noticed a little swelling in feet and hands, then when dr increased my dose I swelled up like a balloon and had shortness of breath. Dr. told me to discontinue the lyrica.
Hope you have better luck with it than I did.
Take care of you,
