Pregabalin symptoms and conditions

I have several back & neck problems caused from an accident 5yrs ago but i wnt go into that! i'm 39yrs old my doctor put me on pregabalin {lyrica] a month ago for severe nerve pain in my left arm & shoulder since taking it i have felt no benefits at all, all i,ve experienced is side effects being constant sleepiness even falling asleep when driving meaning i can only drive short distances & only if i have some1 with me i have also experienced the worse kind of pain in my right arm, its a really painful tingling, cramping pain its so hard to explain its like nothing ive ever experienced in my life it wakes me at night its so bad the pain makes me cry it makes me scream inside its that bad. i want to just stop taking this drug but my dr says i have to come of it slowly does anyone know why? as she dosent seem to be able to tel me, also anyone that has stopped this drug can they tell me if the side effects go away i'm so scared its another pain on top of everything else that i,m going to have to deal with now!!!

I was put oon Omeprazole almost 3 weeks ago and i have found it to be a great medication. My doc thinks i have gall bladder problems and gave me these to try, i take 20mg every morning and it has controlled the pain in my stomach with brilliant ease. I also have Fibromyalgia Syndrome and take 150mg Tramadol SR, 100mg Pregabalin, 50mg Amitriptyline, 500mg Naproxen, i have not had any bad reaction's to this medication. The only problem i have found so far is that my period seemes to have stopped, this is not concerning me much as i have been sterilized, 2 1/2 years ago, i have a partner so i have figured that if i was going to fall pregnant it would have happened before now! As far as i can see, everyone has a different opinion to different drugs, and this site seems to be full of opinions that hate this drug, it's not so bad, not every pill made is perfect for everyone but sometimes, it can be the right one for one person, me, it has stopped my extremely painful periods and it has gotten rid of my gall bladder problems, i would not stop taking this drug, even if it doesn't suit everyone, L.
