I was on Lyrica for Fibromyaligia, not for Depression, although it's prescribed for Anxiety too. I'm currently am not on the medication any longer, it worked for a few weeks and noticed that it really wasn't helping with my pain. Now I'm taking Hydrocodone & Predinsone, although it takes the edge off I still need a med change soon, the predinsone has made me gain weight & also I don't like the way it makes me feel, and the side effects aren't good. I did discuss with my doctor so at my next appt I shall see what develops..

Side effects for me we dizziness, lightheaded, trouble concentrating, which after bringing it to my doctors attention the medication was adjusted,
I hope you feel better soon. Consult your doctor & perhaps see if an adjustment need to be made or trying something new.View Thread
