What Causes Diarrhea While On Lyrica?

I have been on Lyrica for the past 6 weeks. Last week, I started getting diarrhea. Also have major feet and leg swellling, insomnia. Shortness of breath which seems to be abating. I stopped taking it 5days ago but still have the diarrhea and swelling. How long should this last?

Hello,

Based on your history I think that these symptoms could be related to the side effects of Lyrica.

But I suggest to meet a doctor and make some lab tests to define better the reasons.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Monika Dede, Infectious Diseases Specialist
