Comment:
I'm taking pregabalin for neuropathy pain. I started on 75mg the pain eased then my GP upper it to 100mg.and the pain went from a 6 to a 1 which was great, but the only problem I'm having now is since upping the doses to 100mg I cant reach an Orgasm, so I have dropped back down to 75mg again. Apart from that, I think this medication has helped me a lot.

Disappointed in generic pregablin made by cipla. About 30 to 40% effective in helping manage nerve pain in comparison to brand name Lyrica. Had been taking 100mg 3x day for neuropathy resulting from spondylolisthesis for approx 3 years. First week I felt horrible and irritable but it wore off however pain progressively got worse. I'm going back to Lyrica unless someone can recommend a better g
