A member asked:
Can pregabalin controlled or extended release variant provide whole day coverage if someone have neuropathy including rls symptoms?? kind of wanting to avoid multiple dosing throughout day so looking for alternative options, thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pregabalin has a longer half-life than gabapentin and can easily provide excellent outcomes if taken no more often than twice daily. Cymbalta has shown benefits in areas of nerve pain, but is not as useful in RLS; however, can be taken once daily.
