This does not appear to be a prostate cancer treatment. What is the reason you take it?

It is said to be used to treat nerve pain, fibromyalgia, and epilepsy.

As far as I remember @beaquilter husband was prescribed that as a sleep aid.

IMHO that is really very strong medication if used that way. Since it is not addictive doctors are throwing pergabalin on patients for everything under the sun : / and when I say "heavy" I mean HEAVY ! I took only one pill ( when I had some damage to my lingual nerve) and had "out of body experience" @@ !!! Needless to say, I never took another one ...

I was taking GabaPentin for nerve pain, but it never helped me much. When I was recovering after lumbar surgery one of the hospitalist doctors switched me to PreGabalin. I don't know if it did much for the nerve pain, but it did help me with chest pain from diabetic neuropathy as well as semi severe itching from some unknown malady, but probably neuropathy of some sort. It doesn't help with my current pain issues which leads me to believe that it's not nerve related.
