I hated the Lyrica initially. I took myself off of it and then went back on reluctantly. I worked beyond the side effects and realized that the benefit far outweighed the side effects. I hated the Neurontin and the Cymbalta. The Cymbalta made me so sleepy I yawned all of the time. I also had to force myself to eat as it took away my appetite. All drugs have side effects. You have to determine if the reward is greater than the discomfort.
