Please, has anyone else taken pregabalin and experienced lost of memory and words? I've been on it for 5 years and I'm really feeling messed up and can't remember what happened yesterday and stuff.

Hello, Robbie! How are you?

Yes, those are common side effects of this class of medications, as reported by the U.S. FDA. They tend to worsen the longer you're on them, too.

Other typical side effects may include dizziness, headache and weight gain.

Have you informed your physician? It may be time for you to try a different medication.
