Pregabalin

[Bikeblue]

Hi, I am slowly going up the doses of Pregabalin for help with neuropathic pain due to a bulging disc and anxiety, it is helping the anxiety but won't know for sure until I return to work amongst the certain nasty minority u get in a workplace. I'm at the 75mg morning and 50mg evening at the moment, just wondering if anyone else experiences the bloating but read Pregabalin is supposed to help IBS sufferers which I have too not make bloating worse and the wavy feeling, could that just be the dosage settling in? Thanks

I have Diverticulitis flare ups and have come off of Pregabalin yet again, It makes me too drowsy and yes my stomach boats up terrible. Pregabalin seems to give me terrible gas as well. My Dr agreed come off Pregabalin and go back on Zomorph which has already proven to work for me! I did not find Pregabalin helped with my pain but it did give me some well needed sleep, I have an old spine fracture and a degenerative Skeletal disease amongst other ailments so my medication is forever being changed due to the risk of addiction.

Sounds like u are having a time of it, I'm maybe not at the correct level to help with the pain yet I'm guessing and can't determine whether bloating and gas are just the normal ibs or not. The anxiety of COVID-19 working at the hospital flared everything up so feel I need the Pregabalin for anxiety to try and get back to work.
