    Cat, my experience is that it is a good pain relief but has side effects! Be careful of weight gain +40lbs in my own experience. Currently on a period of reduction to come off and try new tabs. Finding the reduction hard to come to grips with however without the Pregablin i simply would not have been able to function.

    Overall I would recommend but be aware the relief will not last forever and be aware of side effects.

    Good luck.

    Bill
