Pre Gabapentin 300mg And Should I Take Them?

Hi, i've just been prescribed Gabapentin 300mg but was meant to get Pregabalin 300mg. Is there any difference in what they actually do and should I just start to take them or should I call Dr and ask for the Pregabalin???

Hello, Wayne! How are you?

They are both anticonvulsants that have also been shown to help with certain types of nerve pain and some mood disorders, so they are pretty much interchangeable, but you may not be on the right dosage, since they don't exchange evenly across the board.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of them as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight changes.

Is there anything else I can help with?
