    FDA warnings for Neurontin and Lyrica

    FDA warns about serious breathing problems with seizure and nerve pain medicines gabapentin (Neurontin, Gralise, Horizant) and pregabalin (Lyrica, Lyrica CR)

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning that serious breathing difficulties may occur in patients using gabapentin (Neurontin, Gralise, Horizant) or pregabalin (Lyrica, Lyrica CR) who have respiratory risk factors. These include the use of opioid pain medicines and other drugs that depress the central nervous system, and conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that reduce lung function. The elderly are also at higher risk.

    This kind of thing is really frightening. It is frightening because that means people with ms will have nowhere to turn for pain or restless legs.

    it is frightening to me because the FDA is scaring doctors unnecessarily.

    Are we going to sit back and do nothing? Please, everyone, write the FDA and tell them how important these medications are to treating MS. Please!
