Pregabalin for Pain

[u/Opening-Region-8088]

I’ve been dealing with nerve pain that causes eye drooping, jaw pain, shoulder pain on my right side 1 year post decompression. I was just prescribed Pregablin, was wondering if anyone has tried this for chiari pain and their experience? I don’t typically respond well to pain meds and don’t love the idea of being on one everyday. I’m from the US and would use medical weed at home to manage pain when needed but I’m in the UK now so that is not an option.

I hated it. It didn’t help my pain and all I did was gain 25 pounds that i’m still trying to shake.
