My body will not tolerate Pregabalin well. Do you have side effects? I have been taking for 5 months and the fog, weight gain and water retention has not improved. Cymbalta worked well but I have tremors that are mild on Cymbalta they are intolerable.

I'd say you summarized the side effects of Pregabalin to a "T". I am sorry that you, too, are experiencing these addendums to the initial assignment (of trying to find a successful treatment) of alleviating pretty constant pain. I've been prescribed Pregabalin for four years along with Tramadol, and wondered which of the two was the culprit for said side effects. Over this last winter, I have successfully discontinued the Tramadol, having taken only one tablet since March. I have tried a number of times to cut back on the Pregabalin but the pain is excruciating if I'm late with the next dose (2 - 50mg. capsules every 8 hours) by as little as two hours.
I wish I had better news or even suggestions but everyone's body chemistry is unique and so the combination of trials to find relief seems infinitesimal. Big word, there - ha...glad for autocorrect. I'm so grateful for this forum, though, where we can ask questions and hopefully narrow the unending search for our best individual approach.
Peace,
Barb
