Question 1

can i drink while on lyrica (pregabalin)?

Accepted Answer

In moderation: Lyrica (pregabalin) has no appreciable drug-drug interactions with other meds or alcohol, but does cause drowsiness and dizziness, and I am sure that the bottle advises against drinking and or driving.  But a glass of beer or wine will likely not be a huge problem.  Use care and do not drive.

Question 2

30yrmale,srcreat 1.2,urine analysis clean.drinking lots of water but urination is very less.color is clean.i am on pregabalin. no weight change

Accepted Answer

What's the problem?: Serum creatinine of 1.2 is fine especially if you've got some muscles. I'm wondering why you're on pregabalin and especially why you're B12-deficient; if the latter is from vegetarianism, I hope you'll consider all your options and in any case I'm glad you're supplementing. Your creatinine says your kidneys are working fine and I'd urge you to stop worrying about this and be thankful for health.

Question 3

i had a nail etg that came back borderline when i have a drink maybe once a month ,i take pregabalin ,morphine sulphate cud this have effectd the test?

Accepted Answer

See below: The once a month drink is more likely to have produced the borderline result. Do you use alcohol gel for hand cleaning? if you do, that may have added to the result.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

No.
No: Lyric and gabapentin inhibit afferent (going to the brain) sensory nerves to diminish to input to your brain and help decrease pain or neuropathy.  Nerves heal

Lyrica and  gabapentin (Neurontin) simply inhibit the afferent (going to the brain) sensory nerve input in ordeer to diminish the pain or neruopathy experienced.  The nerve will heal themselves if possible.

Question 7

can i take lyrica before an emg test?

Accepted Answer

: I've seen patients have EMGs without stopping psychoactive or.neurological meds.  Some specialists ask you to stop muscle relaxants,tranquilizers, caffeine before an EMG. I recommend calling the EMG department and get specific instructions from them,the technician or the neurologist, that is whoever is going to perform your EMG.

Question 8

can lyrica (pregabalin) effect memory?

Accepted Answer

Yes but not always: Any medication that affects the central nervous system can definitely affect memory, and in that Lyrica (pregabalin) qualifies.  If one was started on a high dose, there definitely could be memory complaints.  Typically in my experience if the dose is started low and brought up very slowly memory problems are not seen.

Maybe: In controlled studies, about 5% of patients reported euphoria, but additional studies are needed to see if this will help mood.
