A member asked:

Pregablin. is it good for nerve compression and neuropathy for a diabetic heart patient?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: That is specifically one of its indications. You have to start with a small dose (150 mg a day) and gradually work up to 300 to 600 mg a day in divided doses. Not everyone responds but it's worth trying.
