Looking for people's experiences with generic pregabalin as opposed to Pfizer brand Lyrica.
Having tried two differ ent generic versions ( Teva & Actavis ) my view is that they were totally ineffective and had nasty side effects
As a result I will now only accept the Lyrica brand manufacturered in a Pfizer unit.
Anyone had a similar problem?

I was just prescribed Pregabalin by Amneal for Trigeminal Neuralgia and Fibromyalgia by my Neurologist. I have been in pain management for years and have so many other issues. I do terribly with most generics because of the fillers, and this was no different. I took my first dose, then looked up the drug interactions on WebMD (I know careless of me) I stopped when I got to 7 medications interactions. I got euphoric within minutes. And when I took my evening pain medication (Not Pregabalin) I thought I was going to pass out from being so over-drugged. It scared me. My pain management doctor told me to keep taking it. But I don't know if it's the fillers from the generic. I had the same problem with generic Lunesta 🙄
