Hi all

Can anyone who has taken or taking tell me what effects it's having on you?

Am just a bit worried as I have a couple of issues! Issues are having trouble urinating find it had to start and when I do it's a weak flow than usual. And am very consipated!

Anyone getting these problems

    Hi Kevin and Gillian, it is a shame that pregabalin is not suitable for either of you.. I have been taking them for about 5 yrs with no problems at all

    ( for pain relief management ).. my son has been taking them for about 3 yrs ( for generalized anxiety disorder ). He too has had no side effects .... and WOW... they have turned his life around,

    They suit many people .but not others unfortunately, I hope that you both find a medication that suits you... sincere regards to you both also.... DEIRDRE x

    Hi mate, according to the net 1 in 100 will get constipated on the drug and 1 in 1000 will have trouble passing urine.

    Constipation can be cured with diet or laxative but if the problem with passing urine is a problem suggest speak to GP as could get a urinary infection, in mean time drink plenty water to fill your bladder and help dilute and flush your bladder etc.
