What Causes Short Blackouts While On Lyrica And Gabapentin?
I have fibromyalgia and have been taking Lyrica for approximately 2 weeks following 2 years on Gabapentin. Twice in the two weeks I have had episodes of feeling like I was going to blackout. Both times I had just eaten a meal and then swallowed a rather large pill, one a capsule, one tablet. The episodes were two weeks apart so I don t think they have anything to do with the Lyrica but I am concerned. I have never had this before and it was quite scary.
