Anyone have neuropathy problems? If so what are your symptoms like. my dr gave me some medicine it’s called Pregabalin Manx. im really afraid to take that because of my tinnitus.

hi there. My tinnitus went chronic at the same time my neuropathy started. Really painful occipital nerves especially. Been on pregabalin for a couple of years but not sure it’s very effective anymore. Going to taper off it and see how I am. There’s also been some big stories in the media linking it to suicides also. All the best.

For some context, this is the NHS' advice on this medication - nhs.uk/medicines/pregabalin....

The Yellow Card Scheme has a total of 44 reports of tinnitus or inner ear disorders made by people taking this medication from 2004 to the present date - info.mhra.gov.uk/drug-analy...

`Being concerned about new medications is normal and we recognize that a lot of people are anxious about a potential effect on tinnitus. The data which is out there does not suggest that this is a significant issue.
