Pregabalin

[foxglove]

Does anyone taking Pregabalin experience bladder problems? i.e. constant needing "to go" Have tested negative for U.T.I.

Yes

[Pat9]

yes but I hadn't put it down to the tablets

Took me a while to realise it might be tablets as I have OAB anyway! Try now to cut back on tabs. to see if I can find a level that's bearable

Hi Foxglove, I do have a bit of a problem a little bit of wee comes out which I can't stop, thinking back it could be about the I started on Pregabalin but I didn't think it was to do with the tablets. I have got to go on line to see if there descent for men to wear, I don't fancy wearing them great big white things just because there might be a bit of wee come. I mean it don't even show on my trousers but you always end up very self conscious about it and people going to start what you keep looking at.

Hi JeffMett, that's how I started but it got worse! I am female but sympathise with you re. pads. If it's any help my husband has prostate probs. and after trying (and spending a lot) on online products he found that Boots own brand pull ups worked best and reasonably comfortable for him. The self conscious bit is horrible,I am also supposed to take a diuretic !!! If you can bear it doc. is supposed to arrange incontinence check and prescribe pads but think they are cheapest available. Good luck!

I've been taking pregabalin now for around 3 years, I take 300mg twice a day, I can certainly agree with you, I'm at the toilet constantly. I've been told just to learn to live with it.

Not satisfactory but I've more or less been to also to accept . I'm trying to "los" the Pregabalin slowly, keeping it on script in case I need it
