Newly diagnosed, doctor suggested Lyrica but I have asthma. Anyone with a similar experience?

I have read that Lyrica can cause respiratory issues (https://www.gov.uk/drug-safety-update/pregabalin-lyrica-reports-of-severe-respiratory-depression). I am sort of afraid to to take it because my asthma is virtually unmanageable once it starts due to my sensitivity to steroids. Has anyone with asthma taken Lyrica? If so, what were the effects and side effects you had?
