Hi, I am sorry you are having such an incredibly hard time, that sounds really tough :(
Are you taking
Pregabalin/Lyrica for pain/Anxiety/insomnia
or it's sister-drug, Gabapentin/Neurontin ?
It is often prescribed for people with a Fibromyalgia diagnosis
I am asking because when I was on Lyrica it caused - incredible daytime drowsiness - difficulty finding words/aphasia - difficulty putting words into sentences - difficulty concentrating to read or watch TV - and it also caused suicidality [which is a well documented side effect of Lyrica]
Getting off Lyrica was VERY HARD, but once I got off Lyrica, the suicidality went away and my ability to
read watch TV have a conversation improved SO MUCH.
