"This is the only medicine that completely works for the occipital neuralgia. I have dealt with this for over a year and other nerve pain following COVID for two and a half years. Tried occipital nerve blocks, but that never took away the pain. At first, pregabalin was working for all of the nerve pain until it wasn't. It wasn't getting rid of headaches in my temple. Called my neurologist, and he prescribed this. It's the only thing that completely works. Must take with food or it will make you sleep a few hours. It was a huge relief the first time I took it! He said it's an old medicine but a good one."
