Anyklosing Spondylitis and Lyrica

My doctor thought it would be great to prescribe Lyrica for my anyklosing spondylitis. I am on pain meds and have been since 2012, and am now having break-through pain.

Doc didn't adjust pain meds and decided Lyrica was a good idea. It wasn't.

It took away every emotion I had. Long story short, it felt like my soul was taken away so I decided to stop taking it and tapered off.

I have my flare ups, but to feel like a zombie with no emotions at all, I am dealing with the pain. Has anyone had this experience with Lyrica?
