Does Imrest With Lyrica Cause Redness Of Face?
my age is 83, and i am taking Lyrica for periphial neuropathy 50mg morning and 125mg at night [to go up to 150 mg at night] My new doctor has just put me onto Imrest so as i can actualy get some sleep as nothing else worked, the result was amazing. i an now able to sleep. taken 1 each night for 2 nights now. but today my husband tells me i have a very red face, [it is not itchy] i wondered if this could be a reaction to taking imrest along with lyrica i did ask my doctor if it would be all O/K to take these together and he said it would, also i an using the norspan pain patches as well, a 10 and a 5micrograms per hour . Other than having the above and athritis, I m in very good health. I would be greatfull for your reply

Patients on lyrica occasionally report one side effect, redness in face. It should be noted that using all the medicines lyrica or imrest or norspan may not cause redness in face. Redness in face is because of Lyrica.
If redness in face is not bothering with itching or other symptoms, then nothing to worry. Only when it becomes troublesome contact your Healthcare Provider.
