Pregabalin

[DAML8]

Maybe a very random question..but..has anyone who has taken pregabalin experienced awful mouth pain and real discomfort ....I’m not sure if it’s connected?!

*My tongue has swollen and feels raw and sore

*My gums hurt

*My lips hurt and feel swollen inside and out

*My throat is sore

*The inside of my cheeks are swollen and painful

*My whole mouth has a burning/raw sensation to the point where I cannot eat (and barely drink)

I don’t have a temperature or cough or anything else.

I am otherwise well (apart from the endo obviously lol!)

Any advice would be appreciated x

Hi there,

Sorry you're suffering so badly.

Years ago I was given Pregabalin and I don't remember it having any adverse effects. Have you checked the side effects online?

If you don't get any better, I would definitely go and see your gp for an alternative drug.

I hope you're feeling less sore soon.

Stay safe.

Sorry you are suffering with it.

But, yes! I have had really bad issues with my mouth and it happens every time i up my dose. I get tingling, sores in my mouth like very bad ulcers. And it feels horrible and like it’s full of fur and is sore.

I would say this normally lasts a few weeks from upping my dose then starts to subside.

Pregab does give me endo relief slightly and does help with the anxiety I have so I stick it out. But it is miserable until it passes.

I find Corsodyl mouth wash really helps.
