Hi Melinda, I was on it, but couldn't stand the side effects it had on me. My short term memory was pretty much gone. Some people like it, but for me it just wasn't any good. Hope you have better luck. Yours in Healthy Living, Chris2

Thanks Chris2. I knew I was having short-term memory problems but didn't know it was a side effect of Lyrica.

Hi Again Melinda, the short-term memory problems I was having were different from the normal Fibrofog. Every day was like a box of chocolate.....you never knew what you were going to get..... Have a great week... Chris2

Lyrica is often used to treat fibromyalgia. I've been on it for about 6 months, and it's about the only thing that has helped me. I am a little ditzier that previously, but in regards to the past severity of my symptoms, that's a small price to pay. not everyone will have the same side effects, so it's worth a try.
