Can Pregabalin And MST Cause Secondary Amenorrhoea?
Hello. I m 39, obese,sterile and I havnt had a period for 18 months. Lack of bleeding is probably due to me taking 150mg of Pregabalin twice a day. (I also take 200mg Morphine Sulphate (MST) twice a day) Yet I have been told I have to have a Merina Coil fitted on Thursday. Even my GP is scratching his head! Can you tell me why this could be please?

Hi,
Pregabalin can delay periods and also causes weight gain. May be you should discuss that with your gp to give you alternatives to Pregabalin.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
