What are the side effects of the drug pregabalin? I can't seem to find them. ## Pregabalin is essentially an acyclic analog of gabapentin which is more potent than gabapentin and has more linear pharmacokinetics. Neither drug is metabolized to any sigificant extent, and despite their names, neither drug acts as a GABA analog, or has any affinity for the benzodiazepine binding sites at GABA receptors. It's believed to modulate calcium gated ion channels. Drowsiness / grogginess are its most pronounced side effects, along with forgetting words or one's train of thought, and edema (swelling of the hands or lower extremities) and some degree of weight gain (2-5 pounds roughly). Naturally not everyone will experiece all of these to the same extent, if at all. Don't drive a ca...

i am taking the above 2 drugs for the last about two months. I am diabitic for the last about 25 years and with good control over my sugar. I have a sedentary lifestyle. How long I have to take these medicines. I feel sleepy and lazy all the time. ## Which other medication are you taking? You only listed one. You should take the medication as long as your doctor says you need to continue doing so. The NIH lists the typical side effects of Pregabalin as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings, and weight gain.

Are there any other questions I can help with? ## i was on gabapentin for over a year and ended up on 2400mg a day. the side affect i ended up with was ti...

My father has been taking Nervmax and ever since he started treatment he's been feeling bouts of extreme drowsiness, so I just wanted to know if this was a known side effect of Nervmax? ## Nervmax contains the active ingredients Pregabalin and Methylcobalamin; it is most often given to help with certain types of nerve pain. The Methylcobalamin is just a form of Vitamin B12, but the Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant that can also help with nerve pain and it is known to cause drowsiness as a side effect. However, if it is that extreme, this may not be the right medication for him to take. Has he tried any others?
