"I was diagnosed with Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome. Pregabalin, on its own, is not sufficient enough for my pain; however, Pregabalin paired with my prescribed opioid gives me better pain relief than Pregabalin or Nucynta alone. The biggest con of Pregabalin is weight gain. If you are going to be on Pregabalin, and you do not want to gain weight, you have to pay close attention to the foods/beverages you are consuming. Interestingly enough, Pregabalin works better for Generalized Anxiety Disorder than benzodiazepines ever did. With benzos, I grew a tolerance to them, and at times I wasn't sure if my benzo was working. I'm very grateful for this drug; however, insurance doesn't want to cover it, you can gain a lot of weight on Pregabalin, and it's, sadly, not as effective as Tramadol or Nucynta. However, if you grew a tolerance to your opioid, ask your pain management doctor about trialing Pregabalin; you might be surprised at how much it helps."
