Neurontin and Lyrica are a death sentence
A shocking study shows that these two drugs block the formation of new synapses cerebrales1, drastically reducing the potential for rejuvenation of brain plasticity, which means that these drugs cause a decrease in the brain that apparently robs one's ability to rebuild. The study demonstrating this type of brain damage with these two drugs came in 2009, but apparently the media has been very lax in disseminating information topublic, most likely because they do not want to jeopardize their advertising revenue from this company.
But patients are not the only ones who do not get this information because doctors apparently have no idea. I say this because first our Facebook group for these two drugs "Neurontin (Gabapentin) and Lyrica (pregabalin) should be illegal" is growing so fast. Then, this past spring, my brother, who worked on some things in the backyard, threw a muscle in his back. I was surprised to learn he had gone to the doctor for that and the doctor gave her a prescription for Neurontin.
When I asked when he'd started having seizures would need an anticonvulsant medication because he said , "What?"
I had to explain that Neurontin is an anticonvulsant drug and that the company had received two huge fines totaling thousands of millions of the FDA by prescribing it for anything else. And in 2010 they were even convicted of RICO, racketeering itself, to encourage doctors to prescribe the drug off-label to things that are not approved, you as pulling a muscle in the back! Then I shared with him the information in this study indicating brain damage from drugs and, understandably, decided not to take the drug.

Now my question is: why the FDA has not taken these drugs from the market in the light of this study? I ask because before this study , the worst he had seen the cause brain damage were diet pills Fen-Phen and Redux that were recalled due to brain damage that occurred ... despite the media convinced the world of these drugs. due to damage to the heart and brain damage lung it was that the FDA was concerned and had required the manufacturer studies to test its safety. Something they had not done before Dr. Mc Cann An NIH did a study that showed the most horrible brain damage.Those drugs were withdrawn a few days later.
Neurontin and Lyrica are a death sentence for the new brain synapses
Neurontin and its new more powerful version, Lyrica, are widely used for unapproved indications are a blatant danger to the public . These blockbuster drugs were approved for use even though the FDA had no idea what they actually did in the brain. A surprising new study shows that block the formation of new synapses cerebrales1, drastically reducing the potential for rejuvenation of brain plasticity, which means that these drugs cause brain decline faster than any substance known to mankind.
The problem with these drugs is compounded by illegal blatant marketing. Neurontin was approved by the FDA for epilepsy in 1994. The drug underwent a massive promotion not indicated on the label that cost Warner-Lambert 430 million (the first major penalty for unregistered promotion). The drug is now owned by Pfizer. Pfizer also has Lyrica, a super powerful version of Neurontin. It has been approved by the FDA for various types of pain and fibromyalgia. Lyrica is one of the four drugs that a subsidiary of Pfizer marketed illegally, which resulted in a $ 2.3 billion against Pfizer.
Although the marketing of these drugs has been fined largely continue to accumulate billions of dollars in sales of unapproved uses. Doctors use them for all kinds of nerve problems because they are good to suppress symptoms. However, such uses can no longer be justified because the actual mechanism of the drugs finally understood and are creating significant long-term reduction in nerve health.
Previous study researchers try to downplay the serious nature of the drugs saying that "adult neurons do not form many new synapses". That simply is not true. The new science is showing that brain health during aging depends on the formation of new synapses. Even these researchers were able to question the common use of these drugs in pregnant women. How a fetus is supposed to produce new nerve cells when the mother takes a drug that blocks?
These are the kind of situations where the FDA should have ended. As usual, the FDA is sitting pondering a suicidal warning for Lyrica, while its non-approved uses include bipolar disorder and migraines. FDA is likely to mix your thumbs over the next decade on the issue of brain damage. Beware consumers
