Can Your Seizure Medication Start Giving You Side Effects Despite Being On The Medication For Several Years? I Feel Sick A Few Hours Later.
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Lyrica
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I don't take any meds for diabetes (diet-controlled) and on the lowest doses of my blood pressure meds. Could Lyrics cause a problem for me?
