I have read reviews of people taking pregabalin and I no every one is different on different medication but I really do want me anxiety etc... to ease but really scared off nausea etc... should I try this medication or not? Please help people.

I assume you have started this medication, as it is an older question, I just started several days ago on a low dose of 25mg daily. Unfortunately, I am experiencing a lot of nausea. Curious as to whether you started and experienced any side effects, especially the nausea.

Hi, Abz!
The reviews you read are written by the people who have experienced nausea not the ones who haven't. This side effect only affects "1% to 10% of users): Nausea, vomiting" and if you do have it it's usually mild and resolves within days to a week or so. If you are anxious about taking it your anxiety will only make the situation worse.
You can ask your pharmacist for advice on OTC remedies which work very effectively.
The benefits far outweigh the risk and it's a whole lot better than feeling miserable all the time.
Best regards and you should be feeling better quickly.
