Re: [TMIC] Questions!

I had some eye problems when I was on neurontin and the opthamologist told me that neurontin can cause eye problems. I do not know about Lyrica, but perhaps it also effects the eyes. You should see an opthamologist just to be sure. I now have a permanently damaged eye. Not saying it was neurontin, but am saying the neurologists I were seeing did not catch this before if got bad. Each doctor has their specialty.

I have been on Lyrica for about a week now. I am slowly coming down off the Neurontin… Feeling pretty weird at times. My legs don't have as much pain but seem like they're sort of wooden… slow moving??

 

A few questions: Does anyone notice a "different" taste.. My lips seem salty? Just a funny taste.

Also, since last Nov. (the day I drove my husband to Baltimore for his prostate cancer surgery) I have had blood vessels popping in my eyes. At least every 6 weeks. This time, it actually hurt… behind my eyes??

And of course I look like "devil woman".  A blue eye surrounded by blood red…. At school the kids go,

Ugh… Mrs. O what happened, you look weird" I don't blame them… Two different neurologists told me that it was no big deal… it happens…

Also, one more question. Does anyone every get "head" pains. Not a headache but a pain in your head.. doesn't last long.. but definitely feel it. Also at times it feels like weird things are going on in my head??? 

Thanks

The weird one!
