User Reviews for pregabalin oral

Well I only needed 2 doses of this to know it's useless for me. It was prescribed for for chronic back pain from herniated discs and arthritis. They were 25mg and I was told no more than 3 a day. Took one that night and 2 hours later it took about 10% of the pain away, or else it was just wishful thinking. So the next day I took another one. It sort of helped but as the day went on I started having coordination problems and difficulty thinking and then on top of that the nausea was unbelievable. I ended up off balance, sick to my stomach and still in pain. Holy cow, if a little 25mg dose did that to me the second time I took it, no way am I touching it again. Read More Read Less

Med 0,025% CREA work well on body pain less more movement. To me better overall.

I just started 50 mgs 3 times a day for Carpal Tunnel but I am feeling dizzy, tired and just plain 'weird'. I live alone and after reading the side effects I have decided to stop taking this medication.

Taking this drug, for me, was taking the tiger by the tail. And I got eaten in the end. Lol, to be less dramatic, I used 300 to 600 mg gabapentin for sleep every night for fourteen months. It worked like a dream and I thought my lifelong debilitating sleep issues were over. No. It stopped working.

I have been prescribed this drug for anxiety disorder as a support cause I also start an antideppresant. It made me dizzy and out of balance, with a feeling that Im floating when I walk. Took 100mg for about three weeks and I stopped it like I supposed to do. Almost a day without taking Pregabalin and I still have the same side effects plus my anxiety increased a little. I'm never gonna take this drug again.

I was given this 25 mg of pregabalin by my doctor 4 more months ago it has taken the severe pain away in my left leg, but the side effects are bad , constipated, dry mouth, feeling sick and flatulent all the time, I am now going back to my doctor to say that the severe pain is away and to take me off this prescription, I am already taking solpadol and fenbid gel to rub on the affected knee.

My spine consultant diagnosed degradation of 2-3 lumbar discs and proposed a dose regime of 3 × 75mg pregabalin (Lyrica) as a holding response to significant lower back pain which also stimulated nerve pains in my buttocks and thighs. The treatment was very effective for the month before giving me a lumbar steroid injection. [Admin: please note, then delete this bracketed comment. I reported another review (which was dated 28-Feb-22) a few minutes ago. The respondent is apparently reviewing gabapentin, not pregabalin! ]Read More Read Less

Put on for neuropathic pain. It worked initially for a few months, decreasing pain about 50%. I started experiencing bad side effects, including anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and word and memory loss. After a few months on it, I noticed I would get very sick if I missed a dose by 12 hours. Uncontrollable sweating, chills, nausea, and dizziness that would worsen until I took a dose. This stuff appears to be very physically addictive. I now consider this medicine very harmful and believe the public should know about it. I’ve been titrating for two months now with significant withdrawal symptoms.I think the addictive potential and cognitive effects of this medication should be better investigated.

its very good for nerve pain

helped me very much both for pain and anxiety

Bulging discs in my neck are trapping my nerves. In pain down my arms hands and back. Pregablin takes away about 30 percent of the pain. It makes me constanly tired which is no good when i have a 7 year old to care for. On the highest dose 75mg 3 times a day i couldnt see. Everything shifted out of focus which scared the crap out of me. Not good. Had to lower the dose and still struggling.

Swopped to this medication by GP. For trigeminal neuralgia. Did not work for me at all on a dosage of 75mg twice a day. Symptoms came back very fiercely. Today changed back to Tegretol thank goodness.

It doesn't work at all for me. I have taken it for several months at my doctor's insistence. When it didn't work at first my doctor insisted I give it some time. Now after several months of not working, I am addicted to it. I tried not taking it for several days and my normally jus horrific pain became 100X worse. I take it now just to make my pain stay at the horrific level. It's a waste of money. As soon as I retire, I'm going to kick this habit.

Pregabalin 75 mg does not help me with my nerve pain after shingles at this dose. I was told by my Dr to increase my dosage by taking 3 pills instead of two. Still no help. Neither did hydrocodone 5.0 or gabapentin.

I started taking this drug for stenosis in my neck. I experienced no relief for the first two or three weeks and was about to give up when it kicked in. No pain. No side effects.

Disappointed in generic pregablin made by cipla. About 30 to 40% effective in helping manage nerve pain in comparison to brand name Lyrica. Had been taking 100mg 3x day for neuropathy resulting from spondylolisthesis for approx 3 years. First week I felt horrible and irritable but it wore off however pain progressively got worse. I'm going back to Lyrica unless someone can recommend a better generic

Takes care of the pain as well as Lyrica did.

I started on 75mg twice a day but have moved to 75mg 3 times a day for extream peripheral neuropothy in both feet. Side effecte are minimal but the results are great. I am able to wear shoes and I no longer cover my feet at night. Hopefully this result will last. I have replaced my Gabapentin with Pregabelin so fingers crossed.

not helped with back pain after decompression Also I find my other bones especially shoulders and the muscle at the top of my arms are in agony Especialy at night lying against cushion or lying in bed Also blotines

Tried 800mg,600mg, and 100mg with all the same reaction. My head felt full of water. Dizziness, vision defect, hearing effected, and balance effected. Come to find out that a lot of people have the same reactions.
