Pregabalin Face

A MyMSTeam Member asked a question 💭
Preston, UK

Hey everyone,
I just wondered if anyone else's face changes when they've taken Pregabalin? Ive noticed my face looks rounder like fluid retention, and I just look completely different when I've taken it.

Members responded to a question about whether Pregabalin causes facial changes, with several sharing their own experiences on the medication, including one member who has been on it for over four years without noticing any facial swelling. A key theme was dosage differences, as one member was surprised to learn the original poster takes 600mg daily, having been told 150mg was the maximum, while another noted starting on low doses and gradually building up as recommended by their neurologist. Members also warmly reminded each other that beauty comes from within, offering kind words and emotional support throughout the conversation.

I've been on Preganalin since I was diagnosed in 2019 and never had any problems with it.
How much do you take? I have 75mg in the morning and 75mg in the afternoon. I started slowly on low doses and gradually built up to the dose I'm on now, as recommended by my neurologist.

@A MyMSTeam Member How long have you been taking it ? Facial swelling from it can be an allergy. Please let your doctor know if you haven’t already. Have a great day friend !

Key point to note, I have taken steroids on and off for 3 yrs, along with many other ms treatments. Most make my face swell. I will have to change my profile picture to show just what I am talking about. Not pleasant but mom always said it’s what inside that counts❤️
