Lyrica - are we test subjects for drug companies?

Has anyone taken Lyrica and had bad side effects?

It was killing me so I cut back to one a day then had to stop
completely when it got so bad I could hardly walk for two days.

It made my bones feel like they were splintering when I walked.
First my feet, then hip, leg and crotch. Now I have shooting
pain in my testicles. I have a doctor appointment next week so
I'll tell the doctor then.

I also had muscle pain, anxiety, dry throat, earache, and
started snoring so load I woke up, and weight gain.

In the beginning it seemed to help a little but now I feel
like they're just using me as a test subject.

If the doctor ever has a new drug for me to try I'll tell
him to take it first and let me know how it makes him feel.

I'm tired
I'm in pain
I'm tired of pain
