It has been my saving grace too, but for keeping my pain levels at a bearable level most days.
And it's given me a new lease of confidence in myself since my life changing illness.
I have had to report one generic brand of pregablin though, Rewisca. It gave me terrible side effects, so I did a yellow card report.
They gave swapped me to another brand now and it seems ok.
My Gp won't prescribe Lyrica brand anymore because of cost.

Hi Karen, I have been troubled with nightmares all my life. Since pregabelin If I had to comment, i would say my dreams are weird but perhaps not as frightening. I did stop them for a while by not eating after 7.00 pm. but it is hard to resist snacking on this medication. Try and keep faith . Alan xx
