Hello there. Interestingly enough, last night I forgot my Pregabalin (Lyrica) dose 100 mg 2x day and was 7 hours past due. My body fired up beyond its normal craziness and I thought....Wow, it really does work for certain things!
My only advice on the side effects is that often we have to tough it out in order to get to find the benefit of the drug. As long as you give it a committed try, then determine if you can't or haven't acclimated enough to continue for its benefit. Trial and error I'm afraid. Good luck.
