Personally, if a medication isn't noticeably helping, I wouldn't take it. Because I have epilepsy I have taken many different seizure medications none of which have ever helped my neuropathy. Of course that’s not to say they won’t help yours.
I took Lyrica for treatment of Focal seizures but I also had neuropathy. It didn't help either condition, instead, I developed partial paralysis. My neuropathy numbness progressed from the bottom of my feet to my waist.
It's debatable if medication helps numbness. 50 mg is a minimal amount. I was taking 600mg. But seizure patients normally require more.
I would question your doctor on the dose unless you're just starting it.
Take care,
Jake

Thank you for your reply.

I haven't taken it yet because I rather not add more chemicals into my body if it is not going to do anything.

I cant see the point of taking it if I am not in any pain nor do I have seizures.

She said she wanted to start me at a low amount to start, but I dont like what I read about the side effects.

Does your neuropathy go past your knees?

thanks Jake

I have Trigeminal Neuralgia. It is very painful. I have great difficulty brushing my teeth, and without Pregabolin 50 mg. I would not be able to talk or eat. I take the smallest dose I can because it makes me quite sleepy. I sleep all night and approximately 2-4 hours in the afternoon. I also put Baby Teething Medication on the gums when they are painful.
