Pregabalin and Venlafaxine long term issues

Post by peaches »

Hi everyone. Not been here for a long while as my PN has been under control for some years on medication. However I have now been diagnoised with Gastritis and Im trying to find the cause. Does anyone have or know of digestive problems with long term use of pregabalin and venlafaxine? Im only on 75gm per day of each
PN diagnosed in 2009 by Dr Greenslade, Bristol
Symptoms for many years and numerous diagnostic tests
Currently controlled by meds - Venlafaxine and Lyrica

Hmmm I do suffer from some mild gastritis, but it's not from my meds (on lyrica 125 mg and amitritptyline 30 mg). Maybe it's stress induced, are you under a lot of stress ?
The only risk with long-term use of pregabalin is dementia :(
tiny bartholin infection triggered vulvar nerve pain.
Diagnosed vulvodynia Sept '13 (no burning but electric shocks, paresthesia, aching, buzzing)
Feb 14- Taking 50 mg Ami/Elavil
May 14-pain free with 50 mg Amitriptyline and 300 mg Pregabalin. Back to normal
Dec 15- weaned off all medication, pain free, wearing skinny jeans
April 17- pain returned, Amitriptyline 50 mg. Something doesn't make sense in my diagnosis.
Currently treating depression and anxiety
