thanks for posting your query to health care magic.
Sciatica pain is due compression on nerve root in spinal cord . It is usually because of lumber disc prolapse which causes compression of nerve root.I suggest you to go for MRI of LS region it will suggest you about cause of comression .As its suppression by medication some time aggravate the problem .So get back to me after report then I will recommend you further treatment .
Presently you can take1. pregabalin 75 mg with mecobalamine 750microgram two times a day neuropathic pain for 1 month .
Pentoprazole 40 mg once a day for releiving drug induced nausea.
For sever pain Diclophenac potessium 50mg .
Hope you are satisfied with my answer, feel free to contact .
best wishes for good health.
