I've been diagnosed with PIVD at L4-L5 and have been taking pregabalin NT along with calcium and vitamin D supplements for the past 8 months. Since surgery wasn't needed, I'm wondering how much longer I'll need to stay on these medications. Are there any long-term side effects I should be aware of with pregabalin NT or the supplements?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Long-term pregabalin use can cause dizziness, drowsiness, and weight gain. Supplements are safe unless overdosed. Continue meds until MRI and symptoms show complete relief.

Sure! Here is a user-generated query: I've been feeling kind of off lately and noticed some unusual symptoms. I'm getting these occasional sharp headaches, and my balance feels a bit shaky. On top of that, I've been having some muscle twitching, and I can't help but worry if it's something serious. Should I be concerned about these symptoms? Is there a chance theyre related to a nerve problem or something similar?
