What Causes Headaches While On Lyrica?

I have been on100mg of lyrics for about two months. The last three days I have had a headache last night it got really bad. The pain went down my neck and into my shoulders. I have problems in my neck and have nerve pain from that. I didn t take the lyric this morning. Could this pain be from the lyric?

Hi,

Your headache may be not due to pregabalin because it is less likely to cause headache.

Most common side effects are drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, difficulty concentrating, swollen arms/legs, and weight gain.

I think you may be suffering from cervical spondylosis with neuropathic pain. Please consult your neurophysician who will examine and treat you accordingly.

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

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
