in Anal Cancer #1

Anybody prescribed this drug for Radiation Nerve Damage and 'suffered' from the Number #1 Side Effect...."Suicidal Thoughts". Not sure if I want to take it or just 'stare at the bottle'?

 

Thanks!

    Ask the pros.

    Speak with your therapist, doctor, and/or pharmacist about your concerns. I know that Lyrica is used for multiple conditions. If your professionals help you see that the benefits outweigh the risks, you can always switch to another med if you experience unsettling side effects.
