Im seeing my consultant next week at im not coping with the wait very well .I have two sons with aspergers one also has a learning disability and my husband also has aspergers so I need it to be the medication !!

Hi @tracyh

I'm very sorry for the delay in getting back to you !!!!!

I'm currently tacking Pregabaline 600mg per day for my chronic pain.

I'm also taking more drugs as well.

Please let me know if you need anymore help ?????

Hi
I am currently on Pregabalin 500mg per day along side morphine 120mg per day.
I have noticed memory getting worse as well as not remembering simple words I want to say. Thought it was just me getting old though

Hi @tracyh and @CockneyRebel,

Memory loss and cognition problems are problems which affect some people who have been prescribed Pregablin. Having said that, these side-effects can be less severe than those associated with other similar medicines.

Finding the right medication can be a difficult balancing act, especially when everyone is different.

Sometimes it can be really helpful to have a chat with your Pharmacist to see if they have any alternative suggestions.

Hope this helps.
