hi there i take lyrica for fibromyalgia..its been about 6months to a year...i have had some bad side effects from it like extreme weight gain..from 110 lbs to 130 lbs in 3 weeks and have continued to gain weight i am now at 150 lbs..i also have noticed that my vision is blurry after taking a dose and when it begins to wear off my vision is no better i can even read writing on the tv anymore or look at the guide to choose a channel...the upside is i no longer suffer the unstandalbe pain i had in my jaw neck and shoulder area...its also helped with other pain i experience on a daily basis and has cut down on my need for vicodine...i had to weigh which was more important to me...the pros or cons...i decided to continue lyrica because nothing else has worked as well on my pain and i know i dont want to go back to living like that...it also causes drowisness until you get used to it like any other drug...i hope this helps you...wingnut49421
