Pregabalin and Tinnitus

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hi All

I have been a Tinnitus sufferer for about 25 years now. In July 2019 I was placed on Pregabalin for suspect Fibromyalgia & Allodyna.

Since Feb I have been tampering down on Pregabalin and eventually stopped at the start of June, so far kinda ok. However, I have since noticed my Tinnitus is a bit louder. I have to say I have been fairly fortunate with Tinnitus as haven't had a bad episode for a number of years (habituated it), but all of a sudden about 2 weeks ago I noticed my Tinnitus more. It could be fact, as now concentrating on my Tinnitus it made it a bit louder, but the only other cause could be the Pregabalin.

Has anyone else on Pregabalin had Tinnitus as a side effect or developed it?
