Pregabalin like a similar drug Gabapentin work on the central nervous system and dependant on what they are prescribed for,either nerve pain relief or for epilepsy or anxiety and it's dosage affect many people in many different ways so you may have to wait and see how it works best for you dave.

It normally takes at least 6 weeks or more to start working properly,my wife had it prescribed after a stroke but she initially was on gabapentin,unfortunately she didn't have the cognitive ability to describe it's effect or side effect so after some period of time,many months i gradually reduced and then stopped it as it wasn't doing anything for her and eventually botox which is a good blocker was prescribed in its place.good luck.

Hi Dave I was on them it must be ten years ago ( seems like yesterday) I could only manage them for 2-3 weeks due to terrible heartburn so bad it made me sick. Even though I was on lanzoprozol for my stomach and my dr said take two of them wait two hrs then try them but still my chest and stomach were on fire so I got took off them and put on gabapentin they helped a lot better. I don’t remember having any other side effects, I do know my mother in law takes them she has no side effects at all. I suppose all our bodies are just different and react differently to all meds. Have you started them yet if so how are you doing with them also can I ask what you get them for? Don’t feel your need to answer my questions I’m just wondering if it’s to help your lungs in some way. I was given it for pain in the large muscles in my legs and my bones. Take care hope they help you 🌷🌷

Hi Shazrab I’m on them for growths in my lungs and think on of the growths is pressing on a nerve so pain in back ! And only just started taking them only two so far but woke up feeling all out of sorts x

Hi Dave, I couldn't tolerate pregabalin it made me ill as soon as I took it so prescribed gabapentin, I'm fine with that. I take that for pain relief.

Hi Dave, I was put on Pregabalin but couldn’t tolerate the foggy state my mind felt, it seemed to affect my memory. I’m now on Gabapentin for nerve pain and seem okay on it. We all react differently to them. Good luck xx
