    Works great for neuropathy pain. Started at 75mg then upper to 100mg the pain pretty much went away. The only issue I'm having is I'm unable to reach an orgasm, so I have dropped back down to 75mg. Apart from this i think the medication is fine.

    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.

    It doesn't work at all for me. I have taken it for several months at my doctor's insistence. When it didn't work at first my doctor insisted I give it some time. Now after several months of not working, I am addicted to it. I tried not taking it for several days and my normally jus horrific pain became 100X worse.

    Pregabalin 75 mg does not help me with my nerve pain after shingles at this dose. I was told by my Dr to increase my dosage by taking 3 pills instead of two. Still no help. Neither did hydrocodone 5.0 or gabapentin.

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 ... Show Full Comment
