Lyrica, neurontin, topamax

[Guest guest]

The FDA on Tuesday issued a requirement that these drugs and other

antiepilpsey drugs carry a stronger warning about potential suicide

risk.

" FDA said in January its analysis of nearly 200 studies of 11

different epilepsy drugs showed patients taking the treatments were

more likely to have suicidal thoughts and behaviors....

Pfizer said it would work with FDA to update labeling on Lyrica and

Neurontin, an older drug which is approved to treat both epilepsy and

nerve pain....

Physician groups like the American Epilepsy Society pressured FDA in

recent months to take a measured approach on the warnings, arguing

they could cause more harm than good if patients stop taking the

drugs. "

Obviously we hope that any of us with suicidal thoughts and those

that need help with depression will seek help...

I also know that I cannot stand the nerve pain without taking Topamax

and Neurontin but I wanted to pass this on because on an earlier

message I said I was not sure about Lyrica.
