Yes me to. I think pharmacist are better at knowing what drugs interact with other drugs,and other conditions you may have. More so,then health care providers. When I started Lyrica I didn't have online access. We need to know the side effects of these drugs before taking them. I take a lot of different meds. I question my provider, and do my research now. But I'm doing good now,after stopping the Lyrica,it was causing Ataxia.

I do think so Pandapat. I was on Lyrica for 10 years,my provider never reassed me to see if I needed it any longer. The way it changed my thinking was not good. I had to detox from it,as it is a CNS. My provider kept upping my dose instead of weaning me off of it. It does have long term side effects. I quit cold turkey, after the detox I felt so much better. I got to where I could hardly walk. After I got it out of my system, I walked a lot better. My new provider started me on 900 mg. of Gabapentin,for neuropathy,she did warn of the side effects. She also stated that if I noticed any changes to start weaning off of it. If you take it long term you must wean off of it. It can be dangerous to quit cold turkey. She proceeded to tell me how to wean off of it safely. My advice is to always talk to your provider about long term side effects,and do your research before starting any new medication

@A DiabetesTeam Member I wholeheartedly agree Have stopped many drugs because of side effects,or not started them.Have learned to keep raising the subject with health care providers

Read neuropathy article on this site.Meds are available but in my opinion their side effects outweigh their benefits - you may not think so

It could be something as simple as low B12,Magnesium, Vitamin D deficiency. Also could be neuropathy. You will need to talk to you're provider,to determine what's going on. Neuropathy diagnosis requires,Dr. prescribed medication. There is also some natural remedies. You can find that info online. Wishing you the best health.
