Hello, I have been taking pregabalin for small fibre neuropathy for some years. As it often doesn't work too well I asked my doctor whether I could try a small dose of codeine with it at night. The two seem to combine to work well for me and allow me to sleep at night. This combination allows me to function. I try not to use it all the time though as it also causes constipation. I would say it's worth a try. Hope this helps.
