I noticed the side effect of being tired and hungover straight away. Im still waiting for a decrease in pain after a week

hung over? I dont drink i guess i don't understand. Most meds always make you feel tired when starting them i noticed gabapentin was so bad i started in in 2013 and i was really loopy tired on it when i started but ive started many meds over tge past 10 yrs and nothing has made me as tired as gabapentin. And it only lasted 3 days for me back then.

With me I noticed a true difference in pain around the completion of my second week being on Pregablin (Lyrica).
