Yes: All medications have possible adverse effects. Lyrica (pregabalin) has its share as well. It is generally safe. It is likely to help with your pain.

Many good options: Lyrica can have side effects but most tolerate it. But it is best to address the cause (s). Many with fibromyalgia have undiagnosed Lyme disease ; it's important to rule it out- see https://tinyurl.com/y8opon3c Many also have suboptimal thyroid function. Magnesium malate and Fibronol (a seaweed extract) may help. See http://www.endfatigue.com/ and https://tinyurl.com/ycb2qtay
