Just prescribed

I have just been prescribed lyrics for pain in my knees. My kneecaps rub against the cartilage I am worried about starting it after reading reviews. I am on Warfarin so a lot of drugs are not suitable for me. Is anyone else taking lyrica for knee pain?

    Not for knee pain. As you have already surmised this is a medication of last resort. Please only consider if all other options are exhausted. I'd rather be addicted to an opiate.

    Don't touch it please. I've gone through hell with depression and anxiety this drug has caused and am struggling to reduce it. I was given 300mg a year a go and I'm down to 57mg and even with slow tapering it's been a living hell.
