Pregablin - question

[marion]

Hi there, I wrote a while ago about my suspicion that Pregablin (Lycira) was causing my palms to burn. I reduced the doesage as per my docs instructions , and they burning subsided almost completely, but the pain was awful I had to increase it back slowly. Now I am experiencing a burning type pain in my bladder!! I dont need to spend a penny more often, I dont sense wanting to go either, just the uncomfortable/pain feeling is pretty constant and horrible,

Have had blood an urine test and full exam, showing nothing. I have no tenderness ,urgency or pain on urination, just this awful feeling. Does anyone out there know if this too could be linked to the drug?? My doc is referring me to a Urologist to thanks for listening again Marion

Have you tried decreasing the Lyrica again to see in the burning goes away? I may be off base but getting a work up may be mute if indeed the cause is medication. It's not a side effect I'm familiar with but your palms also burned as a side effect, then stopped with a reduced dosage. That's the first thing I would do again.

It's always a good idea to get things checked out though and I hope there is nothing serious going on.

I sometimes have that symptom and I never take that class of med. It feels like I've slid head-first into second and scraped my palms on the clay. If you have such a strong suspicion about the Lyrica, has your doc suggested switching to Neurontin?

Have you tried switching to Cymbalta?? This is what I am in the midst of doing from Lyrica.
