Pregabalin / Lyrica

Posted by NikkiT2 on December 19, 2005, at 13:11:35

Hi,

heavens, its been so long since I've posted on plain old PB..

Anyway.. I've been prescribed Pregabalin for long term chronic nerve pain (CRPS is my diagnoses).. I'm desperate to ease the pain, but I've also just read the side effects..

I went through so many years of various psych meds and their side effects.. the side effects were just terrible for me - I seem very sensitive to them. Anyway, read the side effects for Pregabalin and I'm not sure I can face it all..

So I wondered if there were any personal experiences here.. Tha pain is pretty bad, and I desperately want it to stop.. but I also don't want to be messed around with side effects again..

Why is life never simple?!

Thanks guys

Nikki x

Sorry to interrupt, but I'd like to redirect this thread to Psycho-Babble Health. Here's a link:

But I'm asking about a drug Dr Bob, and want the people that know about drugs to answer..

Never mind.. I'll not remember to visit health to check for answers, as I never go to that board..

I thought I'd seen this thread somewhere other than on the health board. I kind of thought it was a main board type question, but hey....I answered over there, if you're going looking.

You have a point, how about if replies about the drug stay here, but those about long term chronic nerve pain are redirected?
