Hi Everyone,

 

Has anyone had strange liver inflammation caused by Lyrica?

 

Within one year, my ALT shot up (still in range) and when I had an MRI done it found an enlarged liver (19 cm). This was back in December of 2021 and I had a liver panel done in January 2022 but my enzymes are all within range. 
 

I went on a short stint of Lyrica between May-December of 2021 because of an allergic reaction to hair dye. I noticed liver pains about one or two months into taking Lyrica. I did take Lyrica for four years between 2012-2016 but was far more physically active then. 
 

I tried to look up liver inflammation and Lyrica and unfortunately couldn’t find anything.
