How long before pregabalin starts to work?

My gp said(and i think i found it on some medical journal/paper online) that it can take up to 4 weeks to work. I had to stay on 300mg for 4 weeks for that reason. I think 300mg helped a bit for a few days. Did it do nothing for you?

Hi Keval,

What dose are you currently taking?? It took a couple of weeks for me to feel the effects. I started out on 50mg then increased slowly. Pregabalin has turned my life around and helped enormously with the anxiety. I have GAD but it is really under control at the moment thanks to the meds.

Hope it helps you.

We are lucky as I know alot of other GP's wont prescribe it as it is very expensive.

Let me know how you get on. Jo.xx

my shrink started me on
150mg

Hi

Was started Pregabalin on Friday for knee pain from septic arthritis. Was on Tramadol and worked but have been taken off it and put on Pregabalin. Not working yet. Still in a lot of pain.

Hi Cyberpunk - Pregabalin works on some kinds of pain, I think chiefly where the nerves are affected. I hope it is suitable for your pain. If not, don't hesitate to go back to your doctor.
