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.

@auntieqd I have the research evidence to show that at 150 mg per day it’s pain control is no better than the placebo used in the test. It has to be at least 300 my per to be effective.
