Hey there, How are you? So you tried the Lyrica?, side effects sound to

much for me, rather not sleep walk, if I would sleep. LOL, I don't know what I

might do, or where I might go! My brother who passed away was a big sleep

walker, it scared me when we were younger because he not only walked it would go

into a nightmare for him and he would start hollering, I can remember my father

almost every other night having to come upstairs and make sure he didn't fall I

guess, though one time I was down and he walked down and out the door without

missing a step! They stopped for a long time, then when he was older like late

20's or so, he had his own business and had to travel, well he and his partner

were in a hotel, he sometime in the night got up took a shower walked out the

hotel down the street and woke in the early early morn, in the back seat of a

car!, not his, and he had not got dressed!!!, He was freaking, he found a

blanket I think it was in the front and wrapped

it around and ran ! How embarrasing. I would not want this to be me, so if

Lyrica can cause sleep walking, as your the 2nd person I have heard say that.

Take Care Sharon

Hello,

I am glad they are trying to help us, though the commercial is a

little off base, and I would not try Lyrica anyway. But as for the

lady's weight, i dont really care. I'm big, so what? I still get

more looks than skinny women. Just like they say, " Just because

you're thinner than me doesnt mean you are prettier or more 'worth'

it. " Shoot, just last night i went to the local rock club and was

flirted with. Not that I care, even though the guys are rock stars.
