Pregabalin side effects. Does the dizziness and sleepiness get better?

The side effects, including dizziness, tiredness, brain fog, excessive sweating, confusion, weight gain and others, continued throughout the years I was taking Lyrica/Pregabalin. I was taking Cymbalta for some of that time too so the side effects were worse during that period. I’ve tapered off both medications and every side effect is gone.

Yes sleepiness is very common. Be careful with this drug as it is known to increase weight gain as well. Brain fog is common. I was on this 5 years and had hard time withdrawing. Be careful and take only as long as you have to. I lost 15 pounds after I stopped.

Hi, alohadanielle!
These are very common side effects but the good news is that side effects generally go away within just a few days to a week or so and usually lessen day by day. If they persist longer than a week though you should let your doctor know.
Best regards and you should feel better very soon.
