Hi hope everyone is as well as can be Just wondered if anyone else out there who is on this drug could give me there verdicts on it ? I’ve been prescribed 75mg twice a day but after reading up on the side effects especially the weight gain I’m unsure as to take it or not it’s been prescribed for the buzzing sensations I get and to be honest Ive sort of adjusted to that just wonder how others have got on with it ? Many thanks
Hi been on pregabalin for just over two month’s and i am packing weight on but it seem’s to help my symptom’s,if the weight gain carries on at this rate i might have to change.

Love it - take 600mg a day - but the weight gain is a bitch. That said, I’d rather be fat and still walking. At least I can do something about the weight gain. I find all the vanity about weight gaining drugs a bit shallow to be honest. A woman I worked with who also had MS refused anything that may make her gain weight. She’s now SPMS less than seven years after being diagnosed and I’m convinced that’s one of the reasons. I know what I’d choose.
I tried it, certainly killed the pain, but made me fuzzy and confused so I stopped taking it, pain is a little worst lately so need to ask what alternatives are without feeling less alert.

hi
i was taking gabapentin for 5 years and it was kind to me. however last time i took it, my stomach bloated horribly and i had an upset tummy for a couple of weeks.
i suspected it was the gabapentin so asked if i could try pregabalin.
so now i’m open to a whole lot of other side effects!
oh the joys of ms!!
