Has anyone experience of using this drug ? Looking for positive /negative/ experiences before I try it for knee arthritis

Good Morning @Karen10craigle Welcome to the online Community.

Pregablin yes there are and have been people here who are or have tried it I have done a search for you:

https://community.versusarthritis.org/search?domain=all_content&query=pregablin&scope=site&source=community

I presume you have already done some research yourself and have read this NHS information, but just in case I'll pop it in here:

https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/pregabalin/

Hopefully someone who is taking it will pop along and share their own experience with you.

Best wishes

Ellen.

I tried the older relative of pregablin (gabapentin) many years ago - probably over 20 years it didn't help but was the only medication I ever took which didn't give me any side effects at all.

They are both anti-epileptic medications or were originally, but for some can really help with neuropathic pains.

I hope it helps you

Best of luck
