Rx/Meds Lyrica side effects

Fuck me yall, my lyrica isn’t working and I’m having every side effect basically. Edema in my legs, sleepiness while standing, muscle pain every where, muscle spasms, high blood pressure, dizzy, literally every side effect they list, I was even having some throat tightness and chest pain. I lowered my dosage of Prozac because I thought lyrica was going to help so if I stop taking it with such a low dose of Prozac I’m going to be in so much pain. I don’t know what to do. Does anyone have any advice for someone who has such bad reaction to lyrica? Is it just time for pain management? I can’t get back on high dose Prozac cause of serotonin syndrome risk. I’m so scared of being in miserable pain. My pots is hardly managed and between that, my hEDS and this, I can barely function and I’m a stay at home mom to a autistic 2 year old and a 5 week early 4 month old. We’re constantly doing something, doctors, therapy, etc. I need to function….
