YES, Pregabalin is the generic version which is what most insurance companies will provide. I have taken this drug for about 2+ years, up to 200 mg now but need to increase again as my pain is not well-controlled. The only side effect is sleepiness. But I am 85, long-time retired so that is kinda okay. Slept till 11am this morning but am a night owl & rarely go to bed before 11-12pm.

I use a cane indoors & a walker outdoors or when away from home. I gave up driving 5 years ago. I am fortunate to live alone in a trailer on my son's property & have family near-by.
