ibromyalgia
"I'm really waiting for the other shoe to drop with this medicine, because for me it has thus far been thoroughly life saving. I had been in pain every minute of every day, with some days being completely overwhelmed by the pain. Now I feel like I can live again. I just noticed that increased suicide risk was a potential side effect of Lyrica, which might concern me as I've suffered from major depressive disorder for >25 years. But being on this medicine has raised my mood a great deal because I don't have chronic pain to deal with on top of my baseline mood disorder. It is so wonderful. I'm waiting to hear that it causes something dreadful - because isn't that usually the case when something works so well."
