I'm new here and wondering if anyone can tell me how long before I see results of teva pregabalin for nerve pain in legs and feet. Thank you.

Hi there. I have been on pregabalin for about 2.5 years. I'm not sure if it actually helps. The pain is constant; but I suppose the worst of the 'edge' is off with the tablets. Sorry I can't be more positive.

really depends on your dosage your taking , im on lyrica 600mg a day, and as Alib46 has said, it just seems to take the edge of it

I too have not long started pregabalin, it was gradually increased every 3 weeks starting at 50mg twice a day... I'm now on 150 twice a day, have stuck at that as it makes me feel funny so don't want to go higher, and have been at that for 8 or 9 weeks now and seem to be getting a bit more used to it and feeling a bit less funny . It does help me with my twitching and itching and helps with restless leg syndrome (apart from on bad days... Then nothing seems to help) but doesn't really do anything for my general pain I don't think. But I'll keep taking for what it does help with. Even if it's only a slight relief, anything is better than nothing xxx
