Here we go again...

LYRICA is not for everyone. LYRICA may cause serious, even life threatening, allergic reactions. Stop taking LYRICA and call your doctor right away if you have any signs of a serious allergic reaction. Some signs are swelling of your face, mouth, lips, gums, tongue or neck or if you have any trouble breathing, or have a rash, hives or blisters.

Drugs used to treat seizures increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior. LYRICA may cause suicidal thoughts or actions in a very small number of people, about 1 in 500. Call your doctor right away if you have new or worsening depression, suicidal thoughts or actions, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. If you have suicidal thoughts or actions, do not stop LYRICA without first talking to your doctor.

LYRICA may cause swelling of your hands, legs and feet, which can be serious for people with heart problems. LYRICA may cause dizziness and sleepiness. You should not drive or work with machines until you know how LYRICA affects you. Also, tell your doctor right away about muscle pain or problems along with feeling sick and feverish, or any changes in your eyesight including blurry vision or if you have any kidney problems or get dialysis.

Some of the most common side effects of LYRICA are dizziness, blurry vision, weight gain, sleepiness, trouble concentrating, swelling of your hands and feet, dry mouth, and feeling "high". If you have diabetes, tell your doctor about any skin sores.

You may have a higher chance for swelling and hives if you are also taking angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors so tell your doctor if you are taking these medications. You may have a higher chance of swelling of your hands or feet or gaining weight if you are also taking certain diabetes medicines. Do not drink alcohol while on LYRICA. You may have a higher chance for dizziness and sleepiness if you take LYRICA with alcohol, narcotic pain medicines, or medicines for anxiety.

Before you start LYRICA, tell your doctor if you are planning to father a child, or if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you have had a drug or alcohol problem, you may be more likely to misuse LYRICA.

In studies, a specific type of blood vessel tumor was seen in mice, but not in rats. The meaning of these findings in humans is not known.

Do not stop taking LYRICA without talking to your doctor. If you stop suddenly you may have headaches, nausea, diarrhea or trouble sleeping and if you have epilepsy, you may have seizures more often.

Now, did you actually read all of that? This is a drug prescribed and given to patients who suffer from fibromyalgia. This is a disease that causes chronic and insufferable pain. So, this is ANOTHER ad that I found on my homepage. This is what I am wondering. They give you a test to see if you have the "symptoms of the disease". Then, if you answer so many in a formulation that a pharmaceutical company has designed, you MAY have this disease, and you should see your doctor. Then, OF COURSE, you can ask him/her if you should take this drug. I am wondering who the hell sits behind their computer in chronic pain, and has NOT been to their doctor! "Oh, hey, look at that! I never thought that MAYBE I have a serious problem! Thank goodness for this ad, or I NEVER would have thought to see my doctor! Let me jot down the name of that drug, maybe THAT will help!"

Before you do that, pay attention.

LYRICA is not for everyone. LYRICA may cause serious, even life threatening, allergic reactions. Stop taking LYRICA and call your doctor right away if you have any signs of a serious allergic reaction. Some signs are swelling of your face, mouth, lips, gums, tongue or neck or if you have any trouble breathing, or have a rash, hives or blisters.

Ok, you can have severe allergic reaction to this drug. The "symptoms" that they are describing are that of anaphylaxis. I suggest that you look it up. You may only have minutes to respond, and receive treatment that will save your life.

If you have suicidal thoughts or actions, do not stop LYRICA without first talking to your doctor.

Hold on one minute! Seizures? I don't recall the ad saying ANYTHING about this being prescribed for that purpose. More bad news. Apparently, it can cause suicidal thoughts, as well. Just make sure you keep taking it until you can get another appointment with your doctor when his schedule clears in three months.

LYRICA may cause swelling of your hands, legs and feet, which can be serious for people with heart problems. LYRICA may cause dizziness and sleepiness. You should not drive or work with machines until you know how LYRICA affects you. Also, tell your doctor right away about muscle pain or problems along with feeling sick and feverish, or any changes in your eyesight including blurry vision or if you have any kidney problems or get dialysis.

Well, I would say that is a serious problem for people who DON'T have a heart condition, as well! Now you can't drive, or operate any machinery. Better get a buspass. Tell your doctor if you can't see. Really? You sure? ok, if you insist!

Some of the most common side effects of LYRICA are dizziness, blurry vision, weight gain, sleepiness, trouble concentrating, swelling of your hands and feet, dry mouth, and feeling "high". If you have diabetes, tell your doctor about any skin sores.

These are the COMMON side effects? You won't be in pain if you smoke weed too. That is a MUCH better way of feeling high without the....hold on a minute. Weed "side effects" are, snacking, trouble concentrating, sleepiness. Oh damn, that whole skin sores thing puts this drug WAY ahead of weed. You should definitely try this instead!

You may have a higher chance for swelling and hives if you are also taking angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors so tell your doctor if you are taking these medications. You may have a higher chance of swelling of your hands or feet or gaining weight if you are also taking certain diabetes medicines. Do not drink alcohol while on LYRICA. You may have a higher chance for dizziness and sleepiness if you take LYRICA with alcohol, narcotic pain medicines, or medicines for anxiety.

Basically if you are taking ANYTHING else for pain, you better stop. Oh come on now, they are in chronic unbearable pain! They can't drink??? Damn. It isn't like they are going to get a DUI, they can't freakin drive either! NEWSFLASH! These people are in constant pain! My guess is that they have anxiety and proned to depression. This shit better work! Will it?

Before you start LYRICA, tell your doctor if you are planning to father a child, or if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you have had a drug or alcohol problem, you may be more likely to misuse LYRICA.

This is concerning. What the hell is it going to do to sperm??? More info please! There is a brilliant observation at the end, huh? Thanks for that. Very helpfull.

In studies, a specific type of blood vessel tumor was seen in mice, but not in rats. The meaning of these findings in humans is not known.

Then what the FUCK is the point in telling us this? Are we rats? Nope. Mice? Nope. Basically, you don't KNOW if this will cause tumors in humans. Great. Thanks again.

Do not stop taking LYRICA without talking to your doctor. If you stop suddenly you may have headaches, nausea, diarrhea or trouble sleeping and if you have epilepsy, you may have seizures more often.

Here we go with the seizures again. Epilepsy AND Fibromyalgia??? Nice. So, basically, if you are epileptic, this can kill you. But, you just said that...um...something about seizures...treatment....I am so confused.

OK people! I am not saying any more about this. Just read. If that isn't enough...I can't help you any further.
