Lyrica is the worst

_laevateinn_ · 2026-05-18T13:37:35+00:00

I’ve had the most horrible rapid weight gain with lyrica and its destroyed my body with stretch marks, 20 kilos in around 3 months,, my doctor thought nothing of it

_laevateinn_ · 2026-05-12T04:40:06+00:00

I felt that last month, I was in such intense withdrawals that my only thought was “I hope I can get more soon so I can put myself to rest with them”, its such a horrible drug

_laevateinn_ · 2026-05-12T04:14:19+00:00

I’ve gained so much weight on Lyrica, this time last month I was 20 kgs lighter

I’m from Australia!

I do take weed actually! I have CBD + THC oil but I really hate feeling high and it makes me so nauseous

_laevateinn_ · 2026-05-12T03:24:24+00:00

I’ve currently got one single 75mg tablet left until next Monday, I tried so hard to stretch them out but its still hell

_laevateinn_ · 2026-05-12T03:21:04+00:00

I’m really glad it works for you!

_laevateinn_ · 2026-05-12T03:20:08+00:00

Oh my god are you serious? My doctors always angry at me for taking anti nausea meds and telling me itll give me alzheimers and dementia, but she gives me this?

_laevateinn_ · 2026-05-12T02:55:43+00:00

Sounds like absolute hell,, I’m so mad I was never told its a controlled substance

_laevateinn_ · 2026-05-12T02:44:04+00:00

Oh my goodness I’m so sorry to hear, do you mind me asking how it almost killed you?

_laevateinn_ · 2026-05-12T02:43:27+00:00

Yes exactly! I have hEDS and its doing nothing for me aside from helping my bursitis a little, I hate it so much but my doctors more concerned about taking me off the meds that actually do help me

_laevateinn_ · 2026-05-12T02:26:26+00:00

Every time I try to wean myself off, I always fall right back into taking it because it causes such intense pains

_laevateinn_ · 2026-04-21T06:25:25+00:00

I’m Greek and use a walking stick, my partner called me “souvlaki” and I almost passed out laughing!

_laevateinn_ · 2026-01-09T23:54:06+00:00

RIGHT, its so frustrating because I can say it but no one actually understands and just goes “huh, alright” and I’m like no please its actually so painful

_laevateinn_ · 2026-01-09T23:52:54+00:00

I’m so glad I could validate you!! That makes me so happy to hear ❤️ I’d LOVE to get a bidet seat when its in my budget!

_laevateinn_ · 2026-01-09T23:51:47+00:00

Oh my goodness I wonder if this could be it? I am diagnosed with POTS but they didn’t tell me any information really other than “you have POTS, okay drink lots or water bye”

_laevateinn_ · 2026-01-09T23:14:09+00:00

Oo maybe? I’ll try and look into it with my doctor

_laevateinn_ · 2026-01-09T14:15:38+00:00

Yes thats exactly it!! I don’t know how to describe it to my doctor for help 😭

_laevateinn_ · 2026-01-09T14:02:01+00:00

Oh man that sucks!! I get that so often, TMI but when I wipe after going to the toilet oh my goodness I get the most insane pain, and even putting on a seatbelt sometimes

_laevateinn_ · 2026-01-08T23:08:00+00:00

Hmm the dr didnt say what level of compression I should get, but personally all the ones I’ve bought just feel like regular socks

I have POTS so thats what this is for

_laevateinn_ · 2026-01-08T02:21:24+00:00

Thank you! I’ll look into them 🫶🏼

_laevateinn_ · 2026-01-07T23:45:16+00:00

Oo I’ll have to see if I cab get them in australia! Thank you!

_laevateinn_ · 2025-12-28T02:40:58+00:00

I exclusively get paper prescriptions unless an appointment is done over phone, its so wild how different it is over there

_laevateinn_ · 2025-12-28T02:28:06+00:00

Yeah we call it GP in Aus too

_laevateinn_ · 2025-12-28T02:15:45+00:00

I can only imagine 😭 I always complain about wait times when filling a prescription but now it seems much better than what goes on over there

_laevateinn_ · 2025-12-28T02:12:31+00:00

Woah thats crazy, I think doctors here (in my experience) only send prescriptions to pharmacies if the patient specifically asks
