Does Long Term Usage Of Neugaba And Symbol Cause Any Side Effect?

My wife who is 52 years of age is suffering from fibromyalgia. She is having severe pain in whole body specially in both thighs and legs. Some time she feels itching in her feet like so many ants are travelling. Her thigh muscles are so weak that she can not sit for more than 1 hr. She feels headache and uncomfortable. She is suffering from burping problem also. We have consulted Orthopeadic Surgeon and Neurologist and of course physician also. There is no relief in pain and her condition is deteriorating day by day. Due to prolonged illness she has become psyche patient also. She is taking Neogaba M 75 and symbol 20 for the past 15 years. Her digestion system has become so weak that even simple food she is not able to digest. My question is what is side effect of Neogaba M 75 and symbol 20 as she is taking for more than 15 years. Should we consult Neurologist or Orthopaedic for this problem? Is there any other medicine for fibromaylgia which can help her. Any alternative treatment for Fibromaylgia?

Hello,

I think the side effects of long term usage of pregabalin are fatigue, dizziness etc. She may need to continue it as recommended by her doctor. Also, she may need to take antidepressants.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
