Everything You Know About Pregabalin (Lyrica)

Precautions

You need to take a step back, men. Take precautions! This med is effective, but it's so powerful. Get an allergic reaction? Remember to call your doc right away! There's more, though. Men, you can't drink alcohol when you're on this med. It'll make your risk of dizziness and drowsiness much higher. So much higher! And if you need this med but have kidney problems? You need a lower dose! Your kidneys can't clear it as well, so an average dose means more side effects.

Heart conditions may make this med unsafe, men. They'll make your heart condition worse. So much worse! Sad. Your doc has your back, though. They'll find you something that works. And if you have a mental health issue? Men, you can still take it! You can. But you'll need an extra eye. Your doc needs to keep that extra eye on you. It's the mood side effects that do it! You'll need lots of monitoring anyway, men, but you knew that. Pregabalin's a controlled substance, after all. Many, many men misuse it!
