Hi,

I was given this today to try for the pain. Has anyone else tried it?

Hi

I'm sorry but no I haven't. Just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you. Please let me know if they are any good or not. Love and hugs Lynne xxxx

We are all on it ... It's not pain relief directly as you think ,they work on the signals are brains are or not sending .. to muscles to relax muscle aches .side effects reduce anxiety.. try in evening if worried ...

Good morning kimmy I myself have never tried it. But I'm sure most members with Fibro will have been offered this medication or something similar. It's kind of standard medication given out by the GP to help with the symptoms. S

Like all medication no matter what the illness is it will work for some and be disastrous for others. All I can suggest is try it and see how it works for you good luck

Hi, I have tried it quite a few years ago, it didn't suit me but hopefully it will be different for you. It is also used to treat epilepsy which is what I was taking it for rather than my fibro.

I am on the highest dose of pregabalin which is 225 twice daily it helps me manage most days. I tried gabapentin but didn't tolerate that as well. This medication is really helpful with nerve pain x I know we are all different so although it works for me it may not you. Fingers crossed you get some benefits from it.

I've been on them for several years, they help me significantly with pain relief. I was previously on maximum 600mg dose, but Dr tried taking me off them last year (thought they were maybe cause of other health issues) and I discovered that I was able to get same pain relief benefits at a much lower dose.

Weight gain was an issue at the start but other than that I've had no major side effects xxxx

I’m on these too, I’ve been on them a few years now. I found relief after a few weeks of taking them but I was on a much higher dose. That’s quite a low dose but different drugs affect people differently.

Hope you gets some relief soon xx

Hi I take 275mg of Pregabalin a day it never really takes all the pain away but it’s makes thing a little easier. What dosage do you take? .

[KimmyP13 in reply to Lewan1980]

Only 25mg.... to start with as I’ve tried so many others and had bad side affects.. tomorrow is day 3.... so far all seems ok...
