Could this be because of Lyrica?

I've been having symptoms lately of tightness or cramping in my hamstrings and calves along with the feeling of like I'm drunk while sitting and standing. I also will have these bouts of overwhelming fatigue too. I've read that these can be side effects of Lyrica, but I'm also wondering if it could just be a flare of fibromyalgia. Anybody else on Lyrica and experience any side effects?

Personally this has never been a medication I have taken because my Insurance did not want to cover it. I take Neurontin instead, and do have issues from time to time but once I got used to it, most of these issues went away. But like others have said, if this is a problem that continues you should get into your Doctor and see if it is the medication or your Fibromyalga as well. Wishing you the Best.
