    Hi Karen,

    I have been on Pregablin for more than a year now. I find it helpful for pain, i take it for arthritis and nuropathic pain. It helps me sleep, without it i wouldn't sleep, it relaxes my muscles and induces sleep. The only downside for me is it can cause weight gain, to weigh it up i would rather watch my weight, try to eat healthy and control my pain. I am a little overweight but because my mobility is limited i get by.

    I would say give Pregablin a try for a few weeks because it takes a while for your body to adjust. As with all drugs what suits one doesn't suit another.

    I hope you find it helpful. Good luck.

    Elizabeth
