Hello everyone , I have been taking Pregabalin for eight months and it makes me feel so unwell.
I have a year wait for a nerve block and have been passed from a urologist to a pain clinic to a gynaecologist and also colorectal team . I have at least a 6 month wait to see any of these teams .
Recently I’ve developed extremely loud tinnitus and I’m not sure if the pregabalin has caused this .
I have two questions .
Has anyone else developed ear problems when taking Pregabalin and how do you manage to take CBD oil.?
Did you get it prescribed ? I do not have any GPS I feel would prescribe it for me , I feel quite desperate at the moment with the Pudendal Neuralgia still not diagnosed or any chance of seeing a Specialist .
I have taken Gabapentin, very low doseage for a very short period of time. I have hearing loss and tinnitus. This drug is in same family as Lyrica, so I'm not surprised you have tinnitus. Both drugs are considered ototoxic. I have dyssynergia with obstruction and believed the Gabapentin worked for rectal pressure but not without this dreadful side effect.
Thank you Katie for your reply . Isn’t it awful ? I can’t function without the Pregabalin as it helps make the pain tolerable . But this tinnitus is just as bad .
