Hello, Hans! How are you?

Unfortunately, those side effects may occur with pretty much any of them. The only thing you can really do is try different ones and see which causes you the least amount of problems, while alleviating your pain.

You may want to start with something like the Lyrica to see how well it works for you, since it's not known to cause as many side effects as some other choices. It's most common can include dizziness, drowsiness and weight changes.

Are there any other questions or concerns?
