All: Above meds can cause constipation as side effect and aside from the possibility of the condition being treated that through lack of physical activity may cause constipation. Reversing constipation and focusing on having regular bowel movements becomes critical now. Let your treating doc know.

Constipation.: Both eperisone and pregablin can cause constipation. If the constipation is persisting after stopping eperisone then pregablin is contributing as well. You can give dulcolax a try and see how you do. Also Stay hydrated with plenty of water.
