I have been taking pregabalin/Lyrica for some months for seizures, I suffer from several types and my consultant recommended this in addition to carbamezapine and levetiracetam with a view to dropping the last. Since then I have been suffering from swelling of my legs and other side effects. On contacting my doctor he told me that there were no such side effects and to keep taking the tablets, is there anyone out there who has the same problems and what can be done about them.

I also have celiac disease and wonder if there are any correlations between the drugs, my dietician is concerned with the possibility of malabsorbstion which could be causing problems.

Thank you.
