User Reviews for pregabalin oral

I was put on this drug for neuropathic pain with fibromyalgia, and it's helped quite a lot. I am very impressed by how I feel on this medicine and the effect it's had on me. The side-effects I had when I first started this medicine were headaches, sleepiness, decreased libido, tiredness, strange dreams, and thirst. All these went after a while, except for the decreased libido, which I still have today.

It may not eliminate ALL the pain of my combined Fybromialgia and Carpal Tunnel syndromm (caused by trauma), but it eliminates enough so that I do NOT wake up in agony in the middle of the night, and can fall back to sleep and go to my job the next day.

Living hell is what this medication causes once you come off of it.I completely understand why people keep taking it.

Side effects++++

They are not unsure...what it is...first bursitis...now going for MRI to find out what is wrong...first pill slept first time in 3 months through the night...second one...not good...

TERRIBLE drug. Mild pain control, similar to high dose of Tylenol. Gained 60 pounds in 3 months with no alteration in diet. Years after stopping it, still struggle with depressed metabolism.

lyrica has has improved the pain of my fibromyalgia,prior to using it,I had to wear a splint on my left hand to ease severe thumb pain. I have to stop taking this because I have gained wgt.very fast. I also am diabetic. My ankles have begun swelling,my depression is worse due to the wgt.gain.

I have fibromyalgia and it hasn't worked for me

I am using lyric for neuraphy due to chemo.It is helping ,although I still am having to take pain meds.As I try to focus on the whole picture of recovery,I am finding it helpful.It has taking the edge off that I need to move forward.I have found I am forgetful again on when I am taking meds.So everyday I am setting up my meds so there is no question.I hope with time and lyrica I will eventually come off pain med.from what I endured this past year I give this thumbs up.

Diabetic Neuropathy has made it necessary to seek out treatment. Lyrica at 450ms a day helps. The side effects however make it necesary to look at other possible treatments. Edema is a huge issue. Everything swells. Sinus issues for the first time in my life. Getting bigger in all aspects and effects in my vision with Retinal Edema makes it problomatic to do things like drive or operate a computer. Will advise after I consult Physician and work my way down the dose to eventually get off the drug, then see what happens.Read More Read Less

it has really helped with pain relief

I have today taken the drug for the first time. After 2 hours, was dizzy and go to my coordination has subsided. Overall, I was not in full possession of my powers.

sexual side/ affects/

It works but makes me very dizzy so that I can't do anything else.

I would like to know does it really work, cause I was on 300 mg.Gabapentin and it did not correct leg & foot pain.. Doc recommended 50 mg. Lyrica three times per day. Has anyone had their mg.increased

i have just started taking this med so it may be to early to no if it will help

I've been taking this medication for several years and it has made a huge difference in my ability to stand the pain of Fibromyalgia. It keeps my nerves under control so that my arms don't buzz all the time.

Although this medication is very effective in stopping the pain, the followings symptoms are rather troublesome. Fluid Retention in legs. Visible water retention. Weight gain Sinus irritation & Congestion Trouble breathing.

Not sure if it is working effectively. My feet are still burning and hurting. I was just started om it a week ago. Do I need to have the amount of drug increased? Mike Trexler
