Naproxan and Pregablim

[MumofSam]

Does anyone know if these meds are OK to take when you have RLS? Cheers folks.

Sorry, think it's pregabalin

Pregablin is fine, I take 75mg at night.Its in the anticonvulsant group and is actually prescribed as a RLS treatment. Naproxan/in? Do you mean the anti inflammatory painkiller? If so I used it after my back op and my legs were fine .It is not on the avoid list for RLS.

Thanks Pippins!

I was on pregabalin and Naproxen a short while ago, I wasn't taking them for RLS but for another condition, I still had to take Ropinerole though as it made no difference those meds only. I had to come off them as I started having seizures (which I've never had before). Once I came off the Pregabalin I was fine, however was more strange because Pregabalin is an anti convulsant. Once off pregabalin I felt a lot clearer and more focused, I really didn't like that medication. But bear in mind that's me, some people I'm sure find it works for them.

Thanks Vonnie. I've been put on them for back and sciatica pain following surgery at the end of last September. Been taking them for a week now, and so far I've not had any side effects.

I am on pregabalin, 300mg X2 a day. It does take a while to work but it is a godsend for my nerve pain, I couldn't manage without it. Only side effect is weight gain unfortunately but this is outweighed by the benefit it has.

Thanks Louloubella. Bit worried about the weight gain comment though, I'm overweight enough as it is! I have noticed my appetite increasing since I started taking it 😐
