Pregabalin is better but it has more side effects like dizziness and vertigo. If you can tolerate pregabalin is better.

Pregabalin and muscle relaxant both can have the side effect of dizziness. If pregabalin is the cause, then most likely symptoms are to get subsided within a week or so of medicine intake once the body get habituated to the drug.

You can contact with a detailed history of yours for further advise.

Thank you for contacting on this Lybrate. These side effects are very common with pregabalin and are expected to be resolved once your body gets accustomed to the drug, usually a period of 5-7 days. Preferably take the drug at bed time so that you are not bothered with these symptoms during dayvtime. For further discussion about your symptoms, you can definitely contact further.

Every medicine has some or other side effect. It depends on what benefit you obtain vis a vis the side effects. Pregabalin is regularly prescribed in lumbar canal stenosis and had a good track record. Oxcarbamezepine is infrequently used, in comparison in lumbar canal stenosis cases. Both can be used and the predominant side effects of both is sedation. They can be started and stopped if side effects are bothersome.

Hello,
maxgalin (pregabalin) group of medicines are better to be avoided on a long run for its side effects and dose increase. It can better be replaced with other preferred options like gabapentin etc. In your case, if you are having progressive symptoms lately, you need to go through a check up to prevent increase in pain.
Get well soon.

With mild pain in limbs and back with b12 deficiency. I do not think you require a long course of pregabalin.
Even by correcting the deficiency and proper posture and exercises will relieve the pain.
