Side Effects for Pregabalin (pregabalin)
I am so grateful for this medication being available in a affordable Generic form. I was on 4000mg of Gabapentin prior and it was not very effective other than inducing mind fog. Pregabalin has improved my quality of life
Undiagnosed Sciatica like pain
Took it only for 2 days. The side effect was so prominent, I had to stop it. First day - Woke up feeling hung over, body temperature was elevated to 37.4C, mouth and throat were super dry, felt chills occassionally...at 6 PM the next day, the symptoms magically disappeared. Had another dose, woke up with same symptoms again, by evening had dry eyes and a quarter of my eye was red. Decided to not take this drug again, stopped immediately.
Nausea, suicidal, hot & cold flashes, gastro, deep depression, anxiety, insomnia.
Might be helpful for nerve pain in end of life pain management, but do not take it ever if you are offered as a younger person. Look for natural alternatives.

I'm a Veteran,my prescriptions are mailed. In July my prescription was delayed for over 2 weeks. Military snafu. The involuntary cold Turkey withdrawal from 300 mg a day was so extreme I thought I was dying. I could barely get out of bed to use the bathroom. My body shook so violently I felt like I was coming apart. All I could do was pray. I could barely speak, my mind couldn't formulate thoughts. When I could "think" I couldn't find the words ... it's impossible to describe. But I know how I DON'T WANT TO DIE now!! I let my doctors @the VA know I was out of my prescription- they didn't seem concerned. I was scared to death, literally. I'd manage to get off the couch, stand up, only to come to on the floor.I told all of this to my doctor 3 weeks after going cold Turkey.I didn't want to start Lyrica again. However, the VA has no opioid policy. You can only get tylenol unless you're in surgery or the recovery room. Now I'm back on it having all the side effects- my depression has hit an ALL time high and my life seems meaningless, I can't see the future. I exist hour to hour, day to day, struggling to find some resemblance of my past self.After reading the article- at least now I know why I feel this way.

I was forced to become an "expert" on Clonazepam, as well as other drugs, due to my life long insomnia etc.. Clonazepam works best for my insomnia and has no side effects except possibly memory loss....but I can't remember...haha. I'm not sure it causes memory loss but I was feeling I had some memory loss but could be age? I was able to get off of this drug though I had to use Trazadone as without it I could not sleep. Trazadone has too many side effects for me so I'm going back to Clonazepam as it works much better and is not as dangerous as people say it is. I feel benzos are similar to alcohol in that some people have addictive personalities and some do not. I do not, so this drug is fine for me. But the best way to fight insomnia and possibly anxiety/depression is to get at least 30 minutes of sunshine and mild exercise per day and meditate or do yoga.
I believe this medicine is affecting my predisposition for depression. I have had some challenging life circumstances lately, and I am only taking Premarin for six weeks; hopefully I am in my last week. My emotions are very affected, I feel depressed and unable to engage in work or other activities to my utmost. So I hope that this course of treatment works to make my cervix more accessible and I can quit this stuff!
I was constipated for years and when Allegra go too expensive to buy I switched to Zyrtec. My constipation went away. I think Allegra caused me to develop polyps in my intestine because I was always constipated.
Over all I notice this helping with my fibromyalgia pain. So the side affects are worth it to me. I like the loss of appetite part. I am on 60 mg a day.
